i am not sure how egregious that call was, but she sure keeps a clean home plate.

Even Enrico Pallazzo wasn’t that bad.

First female umpire in MLB history makes a total fool of herself with egregious call

Well then, it's a good thing that sports means nothing.

Not a watcher of baseball and even I can see that wasn’t close to a strike.

One call is meaningless, the stats are available, comparing her accuracy for the whole game would be more meaningful

And the announcers and players/coaches all carried the party line and how wonderful she was and what a great day it was to be on that field. Who said DEI was dead?

butching up trying to get the stance right was more important to her...

I think she did all right. Calling balls and strikes is one of the harder elements of umpiring. The pitches are coming in about 100 miles per hour, and they’re usually moving in any of four or five different directions, and they have to make an instant decision. Getting 93% right is acceptable.

Didn’t see it, but I can imagine that she was as nervious as h*ll, and will not settle into the position until she’s had a few mess ups.

There is nothing in Rules of MLB that state that an umpire must be male.

Did they start her out at home plate? I would think it would be normal to work around the bases first, then do home plate. Seems like that would be the most pressure an umpire can face, especially on their first day at that level.
