But that swing and miss / called foul was the last play of the game (or was it). Afterwards the announcer called the game over as that ump walked away and MASN went to commercial. And I started to go pee. But next thing you know players were coming back out and the game continued. Worst I've seen in 50 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phan a tic 6 Posted April 19, 2017 He seriously called it a foul tip? Yeah but he also called game over and started to walk away ... I don't know what happened when the commercial began .. but it only lasted less than half a minute and then the game was back on with the FINAL pitch coming .. which was strike 3 swinging. Thank god!

edjr 5,552 Posted April 20, 2017 If he were not black he would not have his job. Period. You have to have a special protection to suck this bad and not get fired. MLB Umpire is a better gig than being a judge. Name a MLB umpire of any color that has ever been fired. There were some that lost their jobs (or were not asked back) after the umpire strike/resignation on 1999 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vikings4ever 496 Posted April 23, 2017 I know purists hate the idea of computerizing the calling of balls and strikes, but when you've got umpires no longer calling what happens, but DECIDING what happens, a serious shake up is in order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Honcho 4,014 Posted April 23, 2017 I'm generally a baseball purists, but I am completely in favor of this. I'd even let the computer start calling strikes when whatever a batter steps out of the box to readjust his gloves for the 3rd time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Strike Zone shall be determined from the batter's stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
