Get rid of all umpires. No need

[lakerboy]

They are useless. The guy behind the plate is a complete waste of time. At worst keep one guy maybe two to help coordinate the replays.

Just saw what happened to the dbacks. Guy at third missed an easy safe call. Do we need him? No.

Let the play happen. When it's close review.

Done

[Mike Huntertz]

Especially Joe West....a waste of a lot of flesh, and he gets most pitch calls wrong.
67 and should not have a drivers license.

[Mike Huntertz]

didn’t he retire

I hope so. He said some major stupid things recently.

[lonegambler23]

just like nfl referees no one ever talks about how old these guys are. hand eye coordination is shiiiit at these guys ages... cnt find refs or umps who are in their 20s???????

[themike78]

Bad calls are part of the game. Leave it. They keep messing with the tradition of baseball like the nonsense rule where they put a guy on second in extra innings. What the fuk? Leave the game alone.

Love when Laker posts hammered

[manny24]

how will they fix games edit replay?

[pologq]

no reason for umps calling balls and strikes in 2020 with technology we have now

[lakerboy]

Just ridiculous.

[stake1]

Baseball loves controversy

[Hman]

So true

And one of the reasons MLB is the biggest joke of all the leagues.

[THE HITMAN]

Let the players call their own balls and strikes and outs. Hey, it worked on the sandlot and after school when we were kids, why not now ?

[Mr KLC]

Home ump should just be validating if someone is safe at home, or for check swings and foul tips. I would think the umpires union would embrace using the technology for balls and strikes. Makes their job easier.
