You give BBC the night off?

I would not be a fan of instant replay, they would be looking at plays all night.

Put one UMP in a booth with technology. Decision can be made in less than 1 minute.:shrug:

I was able to make the correct calls watching live before replay. 1 man upstairs that can call down :shrug:

He's been mia, think s-love ran him off.

The 1 guy in the booth is much better than them running off the field to view video, however, you need to be strict and not have it be for balls and strikes. Not even checked swings.

Agreed :toast:

Or, start fining the umps a set amount ($10,000) for every blown call.

Maybe if their ineptitude cost their wallet they'd get the fucking calls right :0002

Love your posts Canuck but some of the guys on this board make more than umps. Fining someone making $125-300k $10,000? No.

 

[canuckfan77]

Just throwing a number out there, I have no idea how much they make. Make it a grand then :shrug:

 

[dms79]

Fines, no. Disciplinary action , maybe.

Apparently Yahoo felt it was compelling story too.
