      That's assuming a zero error system. The league uses a 2 inch buffer for grading and margin of error, so this one is probably not getting overturned. Also, just a bad approach on all 3 the strikes of the at bat.

      Completely agree. I was at a Triple A game this year and players could challenge balls and strikes. MLB should allow this next year. The system worked perfectly. It was very quick (like the tennis challenge system), and there were no hard feelings. In the game I saw there were 5 challenges and 3 were overturned.

      Eh, the helmet slam right there in front of the ump is just too much. If Burger had just said something and got a quick hook I'd be more inclined to agree.
      I never officiated baseball, but I was known to have a fairly low tolerance for dissent in my soccer reffing days. I tried to give players an excited utterance or two on a call when I could. There is going to be some emotion and it's natural to be unhappy with a call. The tougher the call the more leeway I usually gave, but there were exceptions where a player, coach, or parent went too far right from the jump. I also usually took action if they were still complaining about it 5-10 minutes later...

      I never researched why umps and refs became a thing, but I have an idea. An unofficial “league” in the early days was just backyard sandlot baseball, accrued a lot of fans who learned the game a little, and players argued with each other too much (at this day in age no balls or strikes since usually pitcher would have to toss a meatball to let him hit) on close plays, so they asked some fans to watch and break up disputes. Turned into people asked to do it on the field for a little money, then when the strike zone became a thing, there was too much chirping going on even for someone who’s asked and paid to settle the dispute, creating ejections and the rule that you can’t argue balls and strikes, we’ll be here all day. If I was a volunteer/low paid guy doing it to have a little fun in a job, I wouldn’t wanna hear it for 9 innings.

      @@seanmaher3401 The entire reason that any sports officials exist is because games and sporting contests must have an unbiased person enforcing the rules and administering the game. Think about the last time you played a sandlot game of some kind or heck even a board game and there was a violation of the rules and an argument ensued between the competitors. Maybe it was a close play and maybe it looked this way from this angle or that way from that angle. Or maybe there was a rule enforced incorrectly or a rule that should have enforced was not. We're always going to to argue a close play or an unusual play to our advantage. An official or umpire will not. Do you know the base awards in baseball verbatim? It's important. A pitcher who throws the ball out of play on say a pickoff play for instance when they are in contact with the rubber versus a pitcher being off the rubber and throwing the ball away is not the same base award. You need an unbiased expert of the rules, one who has no rooting interest in the outcome of the game to know the rules, apply them correctly and through their training and experience use their judgement as correctly as they can when it is called for.

    Oh man. I was waiting for this one.
    And, my thoughts here is why I am not surprised here?!
    This was a bad strike call & ejections all in one by the home plate umpire! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
    Timestamps:
    ⏺️ 0:18: Correct strike call there.
    ⏺️ 1:01: I knew it! A bad strike call on Jake Burger.
    ⏺️ 1:03: A very understandable with the hard throw down of the helmet & bat at home plate.
    ⏺️ 1:06: And, right on cue, Jake got tossed!
    ⏺️ 1:09: Miami Marlins Manager Skip Schumaker comes out too little, too late here.
    ⏺️ 1:32: Marlins’ Broadcast - “Burger and Skip Schumaker have a grip. That is a huge at bat…” Jeez, you think?
    ⏺️ 2:03: As expected, Skip got tossed, too.
    ⏺️ 2:09; 2:52: A replay of Jake Burger’s ejection.
    Another point to add: It’s time to add a ball-and-strike call challenge because this is getting borderline ridiculous! However, as I said previously, the league won’t allow it! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
    It’s just a matter of time for change in the rules, and challenge systems. I hope…

    @adamwatkins1150 Рік тому +3

    These umpires come up in high school and college ball and then the A / AA / AAA system and learn very quickly that if you want to go home some time today, you need to call some strikes. They also learn that they can expand the zone wider, but not taller, because the angle from the dugout gets them into a lot less trouble for calling pitches off the plate. That gets hard-wired after so many years of calling it like that. And so now these last few years you have this computer zone that coaches can look at on the tablet and see how far off you were, and so now you have a massive complaint. I have always called it by the book, thinking that if the coaches don't like it, they can adjust to my calls and/or change the rules. And the high school strike zone rule book has changed over the years, believe it or not. It just strikes me as the height of arrogance by this umpire not to adjust his zone to the rules. He wants a quick game and is going to call balls as strikes and to hell with the rules committee, just so he can get out of there an average of 10-15 minutes sooner than the guy who is humble enough to call it as directed. They need to have the computer call everything and just indicate what the computer called.

      If the catcher receives the ball in the imaginary box with the top line across the shoulders, the bottom line across the knees, and the vertical sides between the right shoulder and right knee, and left shoulder and left knee, then they call it a strike. If the catcher moves, the umps' strike zone moves. But as we all know, it shouldn't.
