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

I’m thinking she’ll make the prices of the scout seats (behind home plate) go up.

A lot worse.


I know one call in particular that I’m sure we’ll agree on.

Looks like that pitch caught the corner. Its a strike.

That's not saying much.

I've seen half a million pitches. Sure there are "worse calls".

The sample size for her was one. And it was a very bad call.

But still, why do we need female umpires?

Any way, we are rapidly approaching the era of robo-umps. Humans won’t be calling balls and strikes in the pro leagues.

The hitter knows it wasn’t a strike. Look at his reaction.

“The sample size for her was one. And it was a very bad call.”

I could take sample sizes of one and show you worse ...

Even Enrico Pallazzo wasn’t that bad.

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.
