Home Plate Umpire Stu Scheurwater Does His Job, Follows Rule Book

I'd like to take this moment to applaud [umpire Stu] Scheurwater's performance. One call in particular has placed him on my good side. Scheurwater didn't do anything he wasn't supposed to do. He simply followed the rule book, which is much of an umpire's job. ...

In Tuesday's top of the sixth, the Mets were losing. ... [T]he score was just 1-0, and there was a runner on first. [Brandon] Nimmo was working with a 2-and-1 count, and then Jesse Biddle threw an inside breaking ball. The ball hit Nimmo on the elbow, and he started running to first.
