Good thing the season hasn’t started yet.
- The fans at an Astros/Rangers game got an “umpshow” courtesy of umpire Ron Kulpa. You need to see it if you haven’t, but it can be summed up by Kulpa shouting “I can do anything I want.” Umpires have a rough job and I do sympathize with them sometimes. But not when they pull this kind of crap. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated.
- From “umpshow” to “broadcaster show.” Diamondbacks broadcasters Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly going off on Padres infielder Manny Machado for a seemingly innocuous interference play.
