At what point do they just do away with them? Don't need them. Home plate umpires vary their strike zone and they shouldn't! The strike zone is the strike zone! Technology already in place to be able to determine balls and strikes. As far as the base umpires, any close call is reviewed so why even have them out there?
I cannot believe how many times an ump calls a strike and the overhead camera shows 2-3" of dirt between the ball and home plate. Fastballs, not curves that move across the zone, though those should not be screwed up so often, either.
No, not the FoxTrac.
The actual overhead camera... how TF can an ump making all that money miss it from where he stands?
I can understand an issue with high pitches... very hard to call when close. And low pitches, some times.
But pitches on the paint, just outside, I honestly cannot understand how they are so incompetent.
