Overreacted? It was a topic on sports radio programs, articles touched on it as well after last night’s debacle. This isn’t a knee jerk reaction. Nobody is a prisoner of the moment with this take. Diaz missed 23 calls last night including calls in key spots. You want to just wave it off? Fine. JD was robbed of a walk and Nate was robbed of getting out of the 8th inning. FACTS.
If you look at my initial post, I stated that I would rather keep the human element rather than switch to tech. The game would change considerably (many feel for the better) if the change was to be made. I’d probably hate it at first but it would eliminate the frustration that most of us feel after watching an ump call a post season baseball game like he had nothing to lose.
