Yesterday Aaron Judge was thrown out of the game on a borderline call. In his life, he has never been thrown out of a game.


On his ejection - He didn't carry on. He was walking back to the dugout. Even after he was tossed, he didn't "put on a show." Them even after the game with the press interviews, Judge took the high ground.


Not long ago Aaron Boone was thrown out for... not saying anything.


What can be done to improve the umpiring in Major League Baseball?

Bring on the robo-umps! The robo-strike zone (automatic strike zone) is the only way to ensure accuracy with balls and strikes, and the fans, the players, the teams, and everyone involved deserve 100% accuracy. They talk about "speeding up the game". Well, it slows down the game when there are disputes with umpires over balls and strikes.


The sign of a good umpire is when you don't know the names of the umpires who umpired the game. Yes, I know the umpires names are announced by the stadium PA announcer, and by TV and radio broadcasters at the beginning of the game, but after that, if these umpires are good, their names are soon forgotten. The umpires names only co…

Exactly. Shows how good he is. That being said, Pat Hoberg's name did come up during a Red Sox/Astros game in Houston last year when Alex Cora, along with Alex Verdugo and Justin Turner, disagreed with several ball/strike calls, resulting in Verdugo being ejected because of his "chirping" from the dugout about it, and Cora running out and yelling at Hoberg, and being ejected, about it. But when the broadcasters who were calling the game on TV showed the "strike zone box" on TV and where each of those disputed pitches were in relation to the box, you could immediately see that Hoberg was 100% right on every one of his calls, and he was also very consistent with …

Technology will fix most of these problems, however bad calls have always been a part of the game. There are always going to be bad umpires, however there should be a mechanism to eliminate the most egregious.

Replay has fixed the most egregious calls on plays in the field. There are still errors, but it's a vast improvement over Don Denkinger's and Jim Joyce's game-wrecking calls before replay.


The real problem is the strike zone. I don't know the status of roboump pitch calling technology, but it can't arrive fast enough to suit me.


That said, the strike three call on which Judge got ejected was a strike. It would impress me if he looked at the tape and admitted he was wrong.

I say again Judge has been frustated and I agree with you he has conducted himself very professionally he is not going to apologize

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
