From the flipcards, Buchannan is going to Novak's crew to replace Meslow. Stritesky not assigned for the 2nd week in a row, but it is possible that his assignment was not communicated in time for the flipcard.
Please let us know if there are any other substitutions you see in today's games.

Is it my imagination, or is 115 seemingly always assigned to an umpire? I feel like, for years, I have seen 115 on an umpire's back. Even when SNL did a skit many years ago with John Goodman, he was wearing a U115 uniform?

Hendi Anchich wore 115 as an umpire until his retirement in 1998.

Tony Michalek and Hendi Ancich are the only two officials who have ever worn 115. For many years 57 was also an umpire's number. And 7 was a referee's number. I personally think 7 should be reserved specifically for referees.

Thought Scott Novak and crew did a good job sorting that out and getting enforcement properly. It is intangibles like that that people don’t see.

That was a very complicated situation, with of course, a controversial call with an ejection. That’s the type of thing that gets you a playoff assignment. Also 118 was back on the field today in Denver. |
