“I haven’t been around as long as some guys, but that was one of the crazier games I’ve seen,” Werth said. As far as the umpiring was concerned, Werth and the rest of the Phillies remained cautious. “I’m not going to say what I want to say,” Werth said. [...] “I’m going to take a quick nap and think about it and come back fresh tomorrow. Maybe we’ll talk about it then.”
It's amazing that the Phillies found the restraint to not attack the umpiring after the way the calls went on Monday and Tuesday. It says quite a bit about the character of this team that they don't lash out as so many players and teams might.
