Good lord I can't wait to see these last two posts interact. I want to see Diaz watch a screen say that the ball was 6.8 inches outside.

that is crazy.  I'm not sure I've seen a call that simple and obvious missed at first base in MLB before.  That is completely embarrassing for a MLB Ump.

good thing they don't have something like the strike zone where they time from the point the foot hits the bag and the ball meets the glove

You missed the end of Joe West's career?

Yeah, that one was hella bad. I get it sometimes where it is actually close. From their angle they usually can’t see the last 8” when the ball is going into the glove. Best they can do is try to hear it hit and watch the runners feet. Those I can be sympathetic to a missed call, that’s what review is for. But that one? oh fuck no. He must have had a hot date or something.

I mean they are human, and humans make mistakes no matter the level. We all do. It’s human nature. But be open to the possibility that you may be incorrect and have. made a mistake. Don’t double down and puff out your chest, and end up ejecting someone because they hurt your feelers over your call.

Sure, sometimes an ejection is warranted, depending on the post-call interaction, but if both sides maintain respect for each other, things might go better.

Not to say that things don’t happen in the heat of the moment, but still, talk mad shit to the officials in any sport and see what happens long term.

However, with this one, jesus christ on a bicycle. I mean the ball is what. 10-12 feet from the glove at the point his foot hit the bag. Granted still quick in real time, but in context it wasn’t. Foot hits bag, hear the ball hit glove a second or two after. Only thing I can think of is he mixed up the sound of each in his head? He can’t honestly be that bad?
