No there is an entitlement problem iwith the MLB players. The manager came out to argue a call the ump nailed in the KCvNY and he got tossed. It was obvious the manager didn't know the rule.
imo: umpires have been calling wrong decisions since pitcher have been throwing faster pitchers...I don't think they can accurately see the faster pitches. But on the other hand, Hernandez will NOT be missed.
There's been an 'umpire problem' in baseball since I was a kid. I stopped following baseball closely in the 90s, and there was still an umpire problem, and even following it very casually as I've done since, there's been an umpire problem. But there's also a problem with the way baseball almost ENCOURAGES players and managers to go after umpires. Players & managers should be allowed to tell umps they were wrong without getting tossed or whatever, but when you start screaming at an ump, it should be a multigame suspension - regardless of whether you were right or not. You can disagree calmly or you can shut up.
Here is my thoughts Yes umpires make mistakes and they can be big obvious and costly, its also survivorship bias. People dont realise how many things an umpire is watching during the game and how many calls they make correctly When an umpire screws up, instead of being like that pitch was obviously outside the fake zone we have on screen (baseball doesnt exist did a video on why angel hernadez isnt as bad as it seems its in that video) get rid of that zone get rid of where the pitch landed etc lets see how the attitude changes And when an umpire screws up on that, lets have them all wear body cams and we get to see their POV
Your right, we get to sit at home and look at a little square on the screen that shows us where the strike zone is. We don't get the same view as the umpire.
Angel Hernandez "retired" around a month ago. It was huge MLB news, not sure how you missed it.
There needs to be a rule that if both Managers agree they can toss an Ump
I dont know if youre serious or not, but that's actually genius.

No, he won't.

@@DiamondDugout also the zone isnt the same from channel to channel nor is it even correct, it's too wide and too short
This accent has know business talking with authority on baseball
