Bill Hohn needs to be SUSPENDED!
I’m still pissed about “Veteran” Umpire, Bill Hohn. Last night he was 1st base Umpire during the Giants first game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. I was so blinded by anger from two HORRIBLE calls he made last night, I almost turned off the game.
Last night, I believe it was Freddie Sanchez was headed up the first base line after a nice hit and his front foot hit first base and Hohn called him out. Everyone was like WTF, even John Miller a Veteran sportscaster said he made a bad call. Giants Manager Bruce Bochy went out to talk to him and he refused to overturn his call. Of course. Shortly after that Rich Aurilla was headed to first base after a hit and LA’s first basemen tried to catch the ball and it bounced out of his glove, by that time Aurilla had passed the plate and when LA’s first basemen scooped the ball and stepped on the plate, Hohn called Aurilla out. Manager Bruce Bochy went out to talk to Hohn again and was ejected from the game. I know Umpires are there to make the calls on plays, but if you flat out make a wrong call -- suck it up and overturn it. It’s not that big of a deal, humans make mistakes. One thing I really hate about Umpires is ALL seem to be on a high horse, I can understand to a degree because the MLB has made them the “King Dick” on the field, but you don’t need to ALWAYS be an asshole. If a Manager approaches you about a play, you don’t need to yell and then eject them. If anyone should be ejected at that point, it’s the Umpire. Bill Hohn needs to be suspended, this is not the first post on the internet *****ing about his style of officiating. I think that dead caterpillar on his upper lip is clouding his judgment and impairing his vision. |
