It was also announced that Sam Holbrook is the crew chief assigned to our series. Lol you can’t make this stuff up. MLB is trolling us.

How does that **** stick become crew chief of a tee ball game much less play off

For those who don't remember, what did he do exactly?

Not a Braves fan who doesn’t remember that- good news is he owes us a big fat one. And he damn well knows it. I plan to get there early. He will hear - politely - about it.

He retired MikeAdams from ever posting on a message board ever again. Mike said the night of the WC game he was done. That GDT with the infield fly stuff and delay was his worst ever experience modding and he's never posted since then.

Some condemned Braves fans for throwing trash on the field after that call. I only regret it wasn't free javelin giveaway night.

You can hear Joe Simpson say “this is embarrassing” I wish a beer bottle had been flung his way

I went to a regular season game where he was part of the crew and when they announced his name on the big screen he got big time boo'd.

That game was definitely an argument against gun control, and for extremely late-term (like 50 years) abortions.

I love the hypocrisy of people saying Braves fans don’t care enough to sell out the stadium yet the same people trashing us for this.
If philly did what Atlanta did it would go down in sports lore like the Santa snowball myth.

What a day to bring lawn darts back as a gate giveaway.

Looking back at that whole situation... there was no "pressure" or anything for him to make that call. It isn't like he was the only guy responsible, and needed to be the one to make it. Just one of the most baffling screw ups I can never unsee.

Have to see the irony of the outfield line umpire calling an infield fly in the outfield

[striker42]

What made that call worse was the fact that no one in baseball would admit it was a bad call. You had them all close ranks and say stuff like "A flyball to the warning track could still be an infield fly." It was insulting. If Holbrook had just come out after the game and said "I kicked that call" and Torre had said "It was the wrong decision but it's a judgment call that can't be reversed" I'd feel better.

Also, Holbrook was a line judge. His only function out there was have another pair of eyes on whether a ball was fair or foul. He shouldn't have been making any other calls.

The saints call in the playoffs was the same way. Just own the hell out of it.

With replay now for line calls there is now no point in having line umpire IMO
