@homersapienne2356 Ай бұрын

Robot umps would fix this problem easy, but both the owners and the players have already declared they don't want robot umps because robot umps call a consistent zone regardless of pitch count (the owner's complaint) and aren't fooled by catcher framing (the players complaint). So I say let the ump show commence. MLB wonders why baseball continues to decline in popularity despite recent rule changes to speed up the game; they might want to start with realizing that they're promoting the ump show that the fans don't want to see.

But if an architect screws up and his building collapses we don’t dismiss it saying “Well let’s see you do better!” We say “Wow, that architect really sucks at his job. He should never work in this industry again.” It’s how I feel about umps. No one is making you do the job… if it’s too hard for you, that’s okay, quit and do something else.

Everyone makes mistakes is true, but the idea that a professional umpire is not watching these games back to see that he's making a lot of mistakes on the outside corner and adjusting is wild.

It's wild that a professional umpire can say "it's my zone today." or "it's my zone" at all. The correct thing to say is "I see those as strikes" because the zone is not open to interpretation at all.

It's crazy when the ump aggressively calls strike three when it's clearly a ball.. And the ump is confident as hell that it's a strike when it's clearly a ball.

Honestly, that looked like he called it a strike for reacting to the previous calls. It looked personal.

@@offthewoodwork3626 Some umps seem petty and egotistical. They power trip and know they have their stupid union to back them up even when they're in the wrong. Players will get fined if they argue with them, sent down if they under perform, but umps can say petty things like "it's my zone today" or w/e the ump said and make bad calls without consequences lol. Ted Barrett was like the only umpire who was truly humble and a good ump.

I don't see how it's clearly a ball though. The wide one to start the game was wrong, but the high throws were correctly strikes. Middle of the jersey while in the batting stance is the top end of the zone, but the TV graphic was wayyyy lower than that. Judge by the batter at the ready, not the broadcast's preset and unofficial display.

WHY is it a rule that if you question the umpire’s calls you get thrown out??

@damondiehl5637 Ай бұрын

It's been that way for a few years, now.

@poulanthrope Ай бұрын

Because otherwise you would get teams piling onto the umpires to gain an advantage through bullying the ump into making calls he's not comfortable with. The umpire is supposed to be the authority that keeps emotions cool and establishes a consistent set of conditions for the day. The strike zone might be slightly different from one day to another, but it should stay roughly the same throughout the particular game at least, so players can adjust.

@jaycfc6955 Ай бұрын

What I've noticed from numerous games is when a close but obviously not a strike, ball 4 pitch is thrown, resulting in what should be a walk, for a split second you can see the umpire is waiting on the batters reaction, i.e. tossing his bat and turning towards first base, knowing it's a ball and a walk , then the umpire calls it a strike , obviously saying, not out loud to the batter. " You dont tell me when it's a ball, im calling this a strike because I'm in charge, and I'm bigger and more important than you and the game itself ! "

I was at this game. Was a SULTRY evening at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario. Ridiculously hot and humid. He really did call it both ways for both teams because, as a guardians fan, I was very shocked at how it was being called against the mariners in that first inning. Even shared a laugh with someone in the concession line how terrible the zone was for both sides. I cant speak for all the other instances of a bad zone but I think they all made a coordinated effort to get out of there as quickly as possible that day! lol

plenty of those seem like clear strikes but the ump also appears pitcher friendly overall. In terms of 'stats' I just saw a site assign Eddings a rating of 'extreme pitchers' aka big zone

Yeah, I was wondering if Eddings just calls a big strike zone in general. It's tough to sell the argument that he has something against Crawford if the calls are in line with what he calls for everyone.

I’d love a rule where umps get punished for terrible calls. Like I don’t know, maybe a homeplate ump has to go to outfield? Maybe misses a game? Maybe gets flogged? It’s insane that they have such power to be so ass at their job and there’s no repercussions. You know what happens when I’m that bad at my job? I’m fired. No money. Fired. Pay check gone. Fired. These fools just eject any opposition and still get paid. It’s insane. There HAS to be repercussions for calling shit games and getting it wrong. It blows my mind that people get tossed for literally just calling people out for being bad. They are just calling the game RIGHT and called you out on it, and instead of being humble and checking yourself, you throw them? The umps union needs a stern hard look at.

"It's my zone" is exactly the problem with all the umpires. This game isn't about them. It's not about the owners. No one gives a FUCK about them. It's about the players.
