    Hell No. Hernandez is an Over machine. I’ve made so much money over the years blindly betting the over when he’s behind home plate. Well, not completely blindly betting cuz obviously not every game he does goes over but if a game looks to even have to potential of runs and he’s back there I take the over.

    They don’t even need robots. I don’t get why MLB just won’t realize it’s a problem. Give the Umps a little buzzer or something that tells them to call ball or a strike. They can still sit back there and call balks and if a runner is safe at home or not. The good ole boys can still keep their job and get paid. Just take the balls and strikes calls out of their hands. Would reduce all the drama from a teams dugout yelling at the umps, managers leaving the dugout to go yell at an ump. Just makes no sense to me.

    Home plate ump is basically an announcer?

    Before play review Joe West was brutal. Just brutal.

    I believe next up for West is the NL Wild Card game.
