Honestly, and I preface this with I grew up with and love baseball, if the umpires can't get things right then they should be replaced. Games being decided by umpiring mistakes and these mistakes leading to players and managers being ejected from games, IMO, shouldn't still be a thing. When we have the ability to get it right, should we not get it right? Or should Angel Hernandez continue to be horrible at his job and decide games? I agree 110%. While we are at it, can we fire every player who makes a mistake that costs games? Apples and oranges, in my opinion, comparing player mistakes with umpiring/officiating mistakes. Player mistakes should decide games, rule implementation should not. It's one thing if a player gets called for traveling in a one point game with 5 seconds left. It's an entirely different thing to be called for traveling in that situation when you didn't travel.

Yeah, I often see that phantom travel called. such a problem in sports when officials just go make stuff up. I am sure you could do better, ought to give it a try. https://www.sayyestoofficiating.com/become-a-sports-offic... / Back to Top OhioCatFan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Athens, OH Post Count: 14,016 Status: Offline     RE: TBT    Posted: 8/5/2022 9:50:39 PM  How about the phantom announcer travel call? This is when the radio announcer says, “he traveled, but no call.” However, in actuality the guy didn’t travel and the official was right in not calling it. This is true of both TV and radio announcers. They always like to second-guess officials and they are nearly always wrong.

Interesting logic there.

I took video of my son's games for years and found that I should never, ever put on the striped shirt. I still get caught up in the heat of the moment but try not to be "aggressively wrong" as much anymore.
