Tag Archives: Blown Calls

Seriously, what is wrong with the umpires this year? It feels like there has been way too many blown calls this year. Maybe there have been, I don’t have any data to say one way or the other.

But

I can say for sure that there have been way too many unprofessional moments.  Jerry West sounded off about the Yankees/Red Sox speed of the game. Unprofessional? Check. I can’t count how many times I’ve seen an umpire take his mask off and invite an argument with a coach or player. That simply cannot happen. They are impugning their right to be unbiased arbitrators of the game.
