VT'er ... RBI isn't really a stat that I personally judge guys by. Has so much to do with the guys in front of you. You can be a terrible hitter but if guys are on base in fromt of you all the time you can ground out and fly out and still get ribbies. Conversely you can be a great hitter but if nobody is getting on base in front of you the cupboard can be bare.

Hard to judge SP's by win loss too.

You know what I mean.

Francisco Mejia, catching prospect in AA Akron, has just been spectacular last couple years. Some of us wondering why he hasn't been called up to AAA and on a little faster track.

Well Andre Knott asked Sandy Alomar about that today, and said Alomar said you have to remember he speaks spanish and still learning some english and how to communicate with pitchers. Which obviously is very important.

I honestly never even thought about that. Makes sense now. Guess we should continue to expect a slower track for this kid.

MLB Umpire John Tumpane Saves Woman Attempting Suicide on Pittsburgh Bridge

Major League Baseball umpire John Tumpane reportedly saved a woman from a railing on the Roberto Clemente Bridge Wednesday afternoon.

According to Stephen J. Nesbitt and Steph Chambers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tumpane saw a woman climbing over a railing above the Allegheny River and went over and "locked both arms around her back."

"At times, she dangled both feet off the bridge's edge, putting her full weight in his arms," Nesbitt and Chambers wrote, but he prevented her from falling to the river until police and an ambulance arrived and helped lift her back over the railing.

Tumpane had an emotional conversation with the woman, making sure to express how much he cared for her despite her protestations to the contrary.

No! But he followed that up by serving as the home-plate umpire for the Pirates' 6-2 win over the Rays at PNC Park.
