    2017 Ump Show

    This post is just to record all the nonsense that umpires involve themselves in this year.

    Angel Hernandez is in midseason form!

    I like the comment that suggested that umps do not get to eject players when they get their feelings hurt.

    Meanwhile, in the real world....

    And if I was an ump I'd be tossing people left and right with the way coaches and players behave. Ain't nobody got time for that.
    Priorities:
    1. Yankees lose
    2. Red Sox win

    Ian Kinsler gets it.

    Ian Kinsler said he hasn't heard from MLB about getting tossed last night. He then said Angel Hernandez needs to re-evaluate his career. "It has to do with changing the game. He's changing the game. He needs to find another job. He really does. I'm just saying it's pretty obvious that he needs to stop ruining baseball games."

    Angel Hernandez is the worst.

    Where's the accountability? That he hasn't worked a WS since the 90s? Doesn't help if he's still sucking at regular season games. And he has the nerve to sue MLB.

    I had heard about the Kinsler play, but just saw it for the first time. Man, that was bad.

    Exactly. Hold the umps accountable and demote them if they aren't getting the job done to a certain degree of accuracy, or if they don't get the message that they are not the stars of the show. They will continue to stink as long as they know that they can.

    on average they get 13% of ball/strike calls wrong. 13%. each team throws ~ 150 pitches per game. i'm not a math savant but thats like 5 million bad calls a game (or ~40). that's A LOT.
    ROBOT UMPS NOW.
    it is time.
