    MLB is the only sport with obese officials. It's time to trim the fat.

    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.

    MLB Umpires are the worst officials in all of sports and the MLB is pathetic for allowing it

    I think you are on to something.



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

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