Its been a while since the photo replay started up , and I was wondering Where would a guy find a giant spread sheet with the list of ump's and the number of bad calls they made during the previous season ? example: Blindy Mc Cluless 7 bad calls at home plate 14 bad calls at 1st base 9 bad calls at 2nd base 11 bad calls at 3rd base 41 bad calls out of 127 calls made in 54 games Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

"No such thing as a bad call by an umpire. We make two types of calls, the ones you agree with and the ones you don't" As quoted by an umpire I knew. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I doubt they would let some list like that out to the public if they had one. They try to keep that stuff quiet. I have heard of College football coaches filling with their conference, about a bad call that maybe cost them the game, but you never hear of any response.

If they fired Angel Hernandez and Joe West, that would eliminate about 95% of the errors. _____________ | |||

Any info you find online is more likely to be organized around how often the Umps are 'right' in calling games. And for the record, even with Angel Hernandez skewing the numbers (bingo Edmond), overall, umps are right better than 99% of the time. Link Let's see another human run enterprise that gets as much attention as MLB umpires beat that average. And for the record, I played high school and college baseball, and coached youth baseball for upwards of 10 years, so I have had my run ins with umps over the years. Umpires do an incredible tough job, and they do it very well overall. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

I love Joe West, he isn't even in the same league as Angel Hernandez. Strive to live your life so when you wake up in the morning and your feet hit the floor, the devil says "Oh crap, he's up." | |||

Remove Angel Hernandez and the umpires remaining do an incredibly tough job and they do it well. Where else does your every decision get reviewed from 6 different angles in HD and super slo-mo? Most overturned decisions take much longer than 2 minutes to review because it simply wasn’t visible to the naked eye in real-time and was almost impossible to decide in super slo-mo. Angel’s reviews, however, generally take well under 2 mins and probably didn’t even need slo-mo. He’s a joke. Joe West generally is (or was) a decent umpire, but he needed to retire a couple years ago, before he lost whatever little mobility he still had. If you want to talk about terrible officiating, let’s talk about the NFL. Disclaimer: I was a softball umpire from ‘90 to ‘12, working girls, womens and men’s fast pitch, including some college ball. I only retired when I broke my ankle badly enough to need 2 surgeries. Sig P226 .40 S&W Sig SP2022 9mm RIA 1911 Gov't .45 ...and more | |||

You guys might have left the worst umpire of all out of the discussion; C.B. Bucknor. An anonymous ESPN poll in 2010 of 100 MLB players picked Bucknor as the worst umpire in baseball with 42% of players naming him on their ballots. There was even consensus between leagues as he topped the lists in both the AL and NL. Close behind Joe West was cited on 40% of the ballots.

Bucknor is pretty bad, not quite at Hernandez level but, pretty bad. | |||

you guys are saying that the coach's just accept the fact that there are great umpire's and there are pitiful umpire's and you get what you get ? and no one says anything to the m.l.b. commishiner's ?

I had a complete mental block on his name yesterday (I could see his face, but the name escaped me). He's not nearly as awful in the field as he is behind the plate. His strike zone is totally inconsistent; one pitch that should be a strike is a ball, right down the edge of the plate, and the next pitch, which should be a ball, about 3" off the plate, is called a strike. In and out, up and down. And so on. Sig P226 .40 S&W Sig SP2022 9mm RIA 1911 Gov't .45 ...and more | |||

It continues to be a mystery to me that folks object to strike tracking systems that can eliminate at least that part of the variability. Usually get some BS like "it's part of the game", etc. That would be like sanctioning NHRA drag races using two folks and this to measure results:  I'd be ok with chipping footballs too, and putting a sensor at the goal line. Not trying to eliminate all human factors, just the key ones prone to mistake.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Georgeair, You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||
