UConn James Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Some of the strike zone calls this year have even Angel Hernandez like 🤨. Truly egregious. And if you complain you get tossed by the guy? The challenge system seemed to work in the preseason and then it was scrapped for further study or whatever and Manfred is now hinting it will be in place next year. I say bring on the robo-umps! The Hawkeye system can make split second calls in tennis for the past 10 years. No reason they can’t make it work for baseball. 🖕the umpire union protecting these thin skinned pigs. I watch or listen on radio to a fair amount of Red Sox games. Quote

Basketball is almost unwatchable with the ticky tacky calls and the garbage in football is even worse. Besides pitching much of baseballs calls are spot on I find. Quote

Umpires are very good, and replay is administered in a quick and painless fashion. I actually like the ABS system they have been testing where teams get one or two challenges from the batter and pitcher. It is pretty seamless. Quote
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Gugny seems slow to note the annual happiness of 'Bobby Bonilla Day', so I will just mention it here. 😁 * https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45590991/bobby-bonilla-day-2025-new-york-mets-pay-million-every-july-1 Quote
