Because they are HUMAN. Whether you have 1 or 6 umpires calls will be missed.

The PROBLEM

Even us amateurs make a "gazillion" calls a year and the ones we miss are magnified.

In the PROS, the Networks show the play OVER/OVER and Over again in super slow mo. Most of the times the umpires are prooved correct, but when they are not it is MAGNIFIED.

The Final Score I believe was 13 to 8. Did the umpires give up all those runs. I do not think McClelland was pitching or did I miss that in the box scores.
