My favorite thing about umpires is that they can completely blow a call and then they make the team arguing against them pay for it. Makes complete logical sense
It sucks because there is no way the home plate umpire can make that call, but who else can?? Idk what but something needs to be done about calls like that
So the first base umpire who is about 100 ft away from home plate makes the call about a possible foul ball or that the catcher did not catch the third strike!
The home plate umpire did the right thing by going to the first base umpire as there was no way for him to see whether he caught it (which he did) or not. It was the first base umpire that got the call wrong. To be fair, he was over 90 feet away, even though he could see the play better than the home plate umpire.
And, as usual, the umps fuck up a call royally, and then throw people out of the game because the umpiring was terrible. They make horrible calls, and how they handle it is to eject the people who call them out for how bad they are. It seems to keep getting worse and worse despite the blessing of Joe West finally being gone.
That is absolutely ridiculous. You're saying that with a team of first ballot hall of famers you couldn't win a World Series without a closer? No matter who you had at closer he would have no more that ten saves because THERE WOULD BE NO SAVE SITUATIONS. You would win 100 games by 5 or more runs MINIMUM. If the closer IS your franchise, then why aren't they the highest paid position? Why doesn't everybody w/o both a closer and a closer of the future use their draft picks for closing pitchers?
Oddly, I am not a Tigers fan but I hate blatantly bad calls, too, regardless of which team its for or against. Doesn't everybody or are there some people out there whose teams need a little help to win? Still makes them losers.
I hate it when people use the wrong form of "their". Seriously how hard could it be....take 15 minutes, learn it, and for the rest of your life you never have to worry about making yourself look stupid.
umpiring is so unbelievable bad nowadays, it's almost as pathetic as the actual games have become. No heart, no grit, spoiled pansy ass millionaires tweeting during the fucking game
