Since then, the umpires lost their union and Bud Selig has taken over and redefined the rules. We have to live with it because like it or not, the coaches take their cue from what the see on TV.

So what the pros do, means we have to follow? Last time I checked in all sports, the pros have more officials, more training and a different philsophy. More video tape evaluation, they are evaluated every game and ever play.
Just because the MLB Umpires do something, does not mean all levels follow. Just look at their uniform. They changed their uniform, I cannot wear those at the many levels I work.
So yes it would be nice to get every play right, but if I am watching my partner's calls, then what am I missing in my coverage or responsiblity area?
