Seattle Mariners at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 25, 2009 6:05 PM PDT
Both of these pictures are hands-down, 100% disgusting. In addition, there's absolutely no justification for letting Ortega get to the fifth. None. Knock. Him. Out.

I know this may sound weird.
But you can have human umpires making the safe/out calls, and in the case of mechanical failure, they call balls and strikes.
Maybe limit safe/out review to two coaches challenges like in Football. Instant replay has been a god damn godsend for Football.

Who cares about their feelings, getting the call right is what matters.
Why are their rules defining how calls are made if we accept when they are called wrong because of human error?
Umpires should still call balls and strikes in the minors then. Minor league stadiums can’t support pitch f/x, so every new umpire coming through the pipeline will still have years of practice under their belt.

Well that's fine, but baseball players and fans deserve a correctly called game.
If umpires bitch about it they can go fuck themselves. You still make safe and out calls, and if you want the strike zone, go ump little league. You get a good paycheck and major league baseball, if not getting to call the strike zone is a deal breaker, go find another job.
Another solution could be using Pitch F/X to evaluate umpires, and the good ones get to call the strike zone, while the bad ones are relegated to calling a base.

It would be the same thing. You remove umpires and replace them then you take away the necessary adjustments that need to be made for each umpire. Every umpire has a different strike zone and most (good) pitchers know that going into a game and make that adjustment

While many of the interpretations are the same, there are a select few that differ. Strike zone is one of them. The umpires have a very good idea of the zone, but it’s still up to individual interpretation of the rule

Most rules are pretty concrete. This IS the strikezone, this IS a home run, this is what SAFE is.
Missing the call is not open to interpretation.

Beltre sequence of events
1. Beltre offers at strike 3
2. Beltre points down to 1st base ump to appeal
3. Home plate ump calls him out himself
4. Beltre argues that he wanted an appeal at 1st
5. Home plate ump explains that he doesn’t have to ask for an appeal
6. But he does anyway, and tells Beltre that the 1st base ump also had him swinging
7. Beltre and home plate ump have a good laugh

It's very easy to say this when you're watching from home and can see the replays.
It’s not like it’s a grounder down the line that he reached out and scooped up. He’s looking up in the air as a projectile comes right at him. I find it hard to assign much blame.
by Teej on Apr 25, 2009 7:02 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's the same as
not reaching over children to catch a ball 8 rows back. It takes a small modicum of self control
by Malcontent1 on Apr 25, 2009 7:05 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think that's the same at all.
Reaching over two rows of people to catch a ball that wasn’t hit to you is one thing. Putting your glove out when a ball is hit to you is different. If he knew exactly where he was where the ball was, then it was a shitty thing to do. I just don’t think we can expect people to be that aware when making a split-second decision like that.
It’s unfortunate and perhaps could have been avoided, but “terrible fan” is pretty extreme.

The question for this inning now is ...
Will Silva decide to up his pitchcount to stay on par with Ortega?

What?
by ThundaPC on Apr 25, 2009 7:20 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Really though
Ortega only recorded two outs that inning
-Lopez flyout
-Johnson grounder
Everything else was smoked

There is no way to hide a man that large.
Without an elephant or whale prominently involved.
