Do umpires get combat pay?

[bosoxmal]

Thet must have had to be wheeled out of thee! How long must they have been on their feet?

Long enough to be terrible?

Robot umps now?

The umpiring was partially to blame for that s*** show last night. So don't expect me to have any sympathy for them.

[bosoxmal]

If I stood on my feet for 8 or 9 hours I wouldn't know a ball from a strike. Or even a Sox player from an LA hooker.

Hopefully they get money deducted from their pay for how much they suck at their jobs.

Even if they only deducted a dollar for each bad call, Angel Hernandez would still owe MLB about ten million dollars at this point.

He is a special case of bad, and is a complete tool on top of it. I'm glad he's still employed!

All of the other umpires are glad he's still employed too. He makes the rest of them look good.

I’ve had many O’ job where I needed to stand on my feet well over 7 hrs and 20 mins a day. Where were you Joe Buck when I needed you?

And you NEVER sat down during that time? No lunch, maybe someone brought some water while you were standing?

 

Not apples to apples.

Ummm... Yup. I’ve skipped lunches too. A lot of heavy labor as well. So you’re right. Apples to apples doesn’t come close.

[Youk Of The Nation]

And you probably weren’t being paid as much as an MLB umpire, and had a lot less job security too.

I'm not. He's been wrecking games for years. The only reason he saw postseason play was because he sued. The squeaky wheel gets the oil.

If the robot umps are anything like the robot vacuums , they will miss a lot of stuff.

Good line.

My dishwasher does a much better job than my wife. Robot umps now.
