Do you watch baseball for the umps? To see them show their 99percentile talent at calling balls/strikes?

- williamcotton 4y agoJoe West thinks you do!
- WalterBright 4y agoHuman error just makes the game more interesting and less predictable.
- int_19h 4y agoHuman error in judgment doesn't.
- WalterBright 4y agoYeah, it does. F1 also has their disputes with rulings by their committee. All part of the game.
- throwaway675309 4y agoRidiculous. You're conflating human error as part of the skills in the game itself (failing to catch a pop fly) versus human error that results in inconsistencies of rules (marking a pitch as a strike when it is quantifiably outside the strike zone). One of these makes the game more interesting, the other one makes it more frustrating. Can you guess which one is which, or should I call for a ref?
- WalterBright 4y agoThe solution is to win by a wider margin. Or schmooze the refs!
