No disrespect gentlemen, but until the both of you and I have the MLB Umpire's resume on our side, I would not get too grumpy over whether or not MLB needs to use six umpires in the All-Star and playoff games.

Does MLB need six umpires in the playoffs and the All Star game? ABSOLUTELY! No question about it, especially now with the All-Star game determining which league will have home field advantage in the World Series.

Have there been some miss calls in the playoffs, yes no question about it. I do not think you would find anyone arguing that point. But, because of the miss calls, does that mean we start saying that six umpires is a waste of time, no we do not.

I know for a fact, that if either one of you were out there right working anyone of these LCS games, you would be happy and absolutely relieved to have six sets of eyes instead f just four sets of eyes like you have in the regular season.

Until we have their resume in our back pocket to work with, we have no room or place to be talking this kind of a topic.
