A day after getting ejected in a loss to the Nationals, Bobby Valentine was still steamed about umpiring. The Red Sox manager said technology should be used to eliminate human error in calling balls and strikes. "I want a ball called a ball and a strike called a strike. Figure out how to do it," Valentine said. Valentine, upset with plate ump Al Porter, launched a tirade with two outs in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss to Washington. He has long been in favor of using technology to get such calls right. Covering the Little League World Series as a network announcer convinced Valentine change was needed. "It was the most criminal thing I ever saw," he said. "I wanted to cry when a kid, in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and his team down by one run, was called out on a strike three on a pitch that was six inches outside. He couldn't reach it with his bat. I cried for him. That kid is scarred for life playing our game by an injustice. "And then someone says the most ridiculous words that I ever hear -- 'But we like the human factor.' It's criminal that we allow our game to scar a young person like that. And then it continues. I think in 2012 it should not be part of the process."
