HE CAN NOT BE SERIOUS! 5-6 inches outside? C'mon man! He would have tossed me from the game for that stupidity.
Problem is the ones who are good are always good, typically, and the bad ones are always bad. It really should just be the 15 best ones rotating crews and doing home plate.Joe Shlabotnik wrote: ↑July 17 22, 3:29 pmLooked like an old FU strike. Wonder if there's more to the story.

Wow!.... That reminded me of that Florida Marlin playoff game from years ago. Was it Livan Hernandez that was getting the calls 2 feet off the plate? He was K'ing everybody!
You know years ago the crew chief was always the home plate umpire. But since CC is based on seniority as much as quality, I think, that would probably not be the best idea to go back to.Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑July 17 22, 6:17 pmProblem is the ones who are good are always good, typically, and the bad ones are always bad.

I just want the best home plate guys on each rotation. I don’t care if they’re are CC or not.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑July 17 22, 9:18 pmYou know years ago the crew chief was always the home plate umpire.

Well...my point although not well made admittedly was that there is precedence for having certain umpires designated as plate umpires and others as base umpires,Big Amoco Sign wrote: ↑July 17 22, 9:34 pmI just want the best home plate guys on each rotation.

Right yeah, oh well, only a few more months and we'll never have home plate ball/strike umps again.CardsofSTL wrote: ↑July 18 22, 10:00 amWell...my point although not well made admittedly was that there is precedence for having certain umpires designated as plate umpires and others as base umpires,
Yeah, that was umpire Eric Gregg paying back NL teams for all the years of umps giving Maddux, Smoltz, and Glavine pitches out of the strike zone being called strikes. It wasn't right but it was funny that the Braves were getting screwed over.
