Why is there such a huge discrepancy from Ump to ump when it comes to calling balls and strikes. The lack of consistency drives me crazy do these guys not get enough training?!? Listen I get it every ump has his or her strike zone and that's fine but keep it consistent for Christ's sake! Stop with the floating strike zone already if your gonna call high or low or in the river then do it, but do it with some with conviction. Better yet HAVE a strike zone I saw some pitch calling this past week that is flat out going to get a pitcher hurt. I say this because the blue was not giving either pitcher any high any low or anything on or near the river. It was a high scoring game and both pitchers were dodging bullets, it seriously made me cringe....
I get it they have a game to officiate but they also have a responsibility to keep these pitchers safe to some degree and if giving a little will do that then I for one am all for it. The balls are rocks the bats are hot and hitters are getting better none of that is going to change so how bout blues becoming a little more aware and keeping the game somewhat safe for these girls! Just a thought....
