For me, it's when the ump reminds the players that he's in charge
>>153805908Based. No appeals allowed.
>>153805908ABS will fix this
>>153805908Total ump death>>153806777Not if they don't use it on every pitch
Every time
>>153805908Based. Remind catchers to properly frame and not half-ass around
For me, it's legendary umpire Jim Joyce
>>153806822Framing is no different from diving
>>153805908Samurai Umpires
>>153806867Do canadian flags not get tired of making terrible posts?
It's a ball, the umpie says so, and if ya don't like it.... YER OUT!
>>153806951>uh, I'm just going to make the umpire think something happened by acting like it did o algoFraming = diving
>>153805908I don't know much about boreball, but isn't that box in the middle supposed to be the strike zone? That ball was inside it, so why isn't it a strike?
>>153807010Umpie says it's a ball, it's a ball.
>>153805908He missed his spot by 12” Make the catcher move like that and it’s called a ball. Simple as.
>>153807019with the ABS if I was a catcher I would constantly reverse frame pitches to make good ones look off so the batter challenges and blows all their alloted ones. Then switch back to framing bad to good and laugh as the umpies take charge.
Why isn't there an umpire slightly off to the side behind the pitcher who can see better why is it a guy stood behind the catcher???
>>153807459Ump has to see where the ball crosses home plate. He can’t do that accurately from 70’ away
>ACKhttps://youtu.be/4GaW8vvyrW4
>>153807484Apparently he can't do it from a foot away either
>>153807600great way to have your strike zone shrink 3 inches
>>153807010Very poor body language from the catcher, which does play a factor in an umpire’s judgement, gave the impression that it was a ball.
>>153807634Every call was a ball anyway iirc
>be an umpire>call everything a strike so you can go home earlier>fans, media, and teams absolutely ENRAGED>umpires' union has your back and MLB can't do SHIT to stop you
>>153808419>call everything a strike so you can go home earlierImagine officiating a sport so boring all you think about is going home already
>>153808526Being an ump is a job, not fun.
>>153805908Before and after games, umpires should have to answer questions from the media just like players and coaches do.
>>153809701nobody made you apply for it
>>153812276they should have to walk a gauntlet of the losing team's fans
>>153808419>get every call ABS’d so you go home even later than usual
>>153805908https://youtu.be/64lL0GuIaMs?si=p5b22E1jab3Y5alwUmps write the history books
>>153818464haha, trying to take the reffies sportlight. Maybe next time, kid
>>153807010The zone stretches across the plate, knee to letter, and expands based off the batters physical build. Hope that helps retard nigger ball watcher.
>>153818537always gets me
>>153818551
>>153818553i laff ever tiem
>>153807600If I were a pitcher I'd drill umps all the time if they refused to give me favorable calls
