What i don't like is a few umps are standing way to one side of the plate. Common sense says you are not going to get a good view on the corner pitch.
One would think common sense would come into play & MLB would say what are you teaching in that school how can we say we have a game of integrity when the ump is clear to the other side of the plate.
We need a human back there calling balls and strikes.
I got to ump one game behind the plate.
I found out on the very first pitch that half the people hated my guts and the other half thought I was doing ok.
We need that.
Instant replay gets the calls right, but we no longer have that instant blood pressure rising through the roof anxiety propelled by adrenalin when a call is perceived to be blown.
