Reminded me of the calls maddux used to get off the plate. Maybe he forgot his long johns and hand warmers and just wanted to get back to his hotel. Plus if you look at the tribe line up, lots of new faces/unknowns. Umps can be a little tougher on those types. Read more: aolcfboutcasts.proboards.com/thread/21180/tribe-stays-unbeatean#ixzz454JLnwuGMaddox was an artist with this. He would inch is way off the outside corner a little more with each pitch until he found the limit of how far he could go. Then he would pull it back in and live there the rest of the day. Sounds so easy, but you have to be able to consistently dot the I with the ball in order to play that game. Glavine got that outside corner in game 6 of the '95 World Series vs the Tribe, needless to say the Braves won 1-0 and the series with that performanceIf memory serves me correctly, and it very well may not, that was the Eric Gregg game when his strike zone took on the size of the Goodyear blimp.

Joe Brinkman was the home plate umpire that night and when he retired in 2007 or '08__nobody missed him <g>

Joe Brinkman was the home plate umpire that night and when he retired in 2007 or '08__nobody missed him <g>wow '95 was such a magical year. tribe really started coming on in '94, but the next season it seemed like every week they were coming from behind to win one or two games. they won the central by 30 games. that line up was the best cleveland's ever had, with belle, ramirez and lofton in the of, murray, baerga, vizquel, thome and alomar. jacobs field was THE place to be all summer long, and for quite a few after that too. we had standing room tickets for game 5 of the series... the tribe front office played most of belushi's 'germans bombed pearl harbor' speech from animal house right before they took the field, and the jake went absolutely nuts. belle went deep on maddux in the 1st, hershisher was a stud going 7 or 8 innings, and i remember murray started yelling at maddux after a pitch was a little too inside for his liking, which had players walking, not running, out of the dugout. nothing really happened but the ball park was juiced all night long. think the final was 4-3 or 5-4, 1 run game just like most of the series. but we only got a couple hits, tops, off glavine in game 6. that was a tough one after not even sniffing october for about 40 years.
