    MLB should make it mandatory for umpires to have a BMI that is not considered obese to be eligible to officiate.

    Send those chunky fukking umps to fat camp or something. Big bellies hanging over their pants while they officiate is an embarrassment.

          I think you are on to something.



          "In 2018, umpires made 34,294 incorrect ball and strike calls. That’s 14 per game."

          After analyzing 4 million Major League Baseball pitches from 11 seasons, researchers at Boston University learned that younger umpires are more accurate in calling balls and strikes and 2-strike counts favor pitchers over hitters, among other fascinating findings.

              If both of those statements were true, the average MLB game would only have 70 pitches.
