If it is not our job to criticize these guys, what is our job? To sit here like sheep and agree wholeheartedly with every call these guys make, no matter how correct or incorrect it may be? As someone else mentioned, by criticizing we are learning a little bit ourselves. No one is saying Dana should be put to death for what he did, it is just being suggested that what he did is not becoming of a major league umpire. Our naivete and inexperience is part of what makes our arguments in threads so intriguing- if you asked professional (MiLB and higher) what they thought of most of the stuff we said, they would probably find most of it laughable because they are more experienced and have seen it many, MANY times more than we have.
