one gets it wrong once every six throws. the other gets it wrong once every eight.

comsider that across an entire game. then across an entire season.

it is a big difference.

mbl like the nba and the nfl are privately owned...they can make whatever rules they want and they can direct their umps to call games certain ways....it is not illegal....

but it makes all the outcomes very questionable.....

the big leagues have certain things and certain teams and certain players they want to promote and they'll do it........

one gets it wrong once every six throws. the other gets it wrong once every eight.

Just as long as the bulk of the bad calls come when the Orioles are at bat then I'll be happy.

one gets it wrong once every six throws. the other gets it wrong once every eight.

Let's not get too carried away with rounding errors.

The worst ump in the Majors misses 16 out of every 100 pitches, the best ump misses 12 out of every 100 pitches.

A difference of four pitches out of every 100, or a difference of about six pitches per game.

Maybe you'd like to get rid of the umpire and go strictly by the pitch tracker, but I still don't see a large enough statistical difference to get my panties in a wad.
