It is very simple. They have a union. I've said it multiple times on here' date=' but I honestly think they should simply cut every single umpire in the majors and promote minor/college coaches who will do their job the right way.[/quote']

 

if the union doesn't prevent the MLB from cutting them then why the f*** don't they? jesus christ.

 

 

tellin' ya, super sized ipad behind home play making the calls will be much better. the right call made 100% of the time.

Cutting an entire union is a huge PR disaster. There are 46 umpires, with 22 subs. I really don't understand how they managed to get such a vicegrip on the MLB's balls, but the simple fact that Joe West still has a job says a lot.

Lester has had A LOT of control issues lately. He just racks up so many pitches in such a short time. He's so effective, which makes it even more frustrating to see him not be able to go deeper into the game.

Hmm.. perhaps they hire all those college umps you mentioned and add them to the current roster of 46. Then the Umps have to fight for game time among each other. The better ones get hired more often. And require all umps to have their game reviewed using pitchfx. or something.

 

bad calls sucked in the nfl. so they brough instant replay. c'mon mlb, do SOMETHING.

What a brain fart by Swisher!!! And it cost them. Did you see the looks from the other Yankees? Jeter was laughing at him. Tony Pena couldn't even look at him.

I send him out for the 6th but I want Ace waiting right behind him.

 

Only way I see that happening is if the Sox score one or two runs in this inning. He's gone otherwise.

Once again, the problem is the union. They would fight a move like that, and their labor contract runs through 2014.
