He's probably got the fan sentiment right. I went to a game last night and there were a few bangers but no arguments. Fans hardly pay attention to the game so I'm not surprised they would miss when the umps don't get a rotation right.

Surprisingly there was a local umpire association having a night out at the ballpark.
Fans pay attention to the game, they just don't pay attention to the umpires. The only rotations they care about are on their tires. The only fans that pay attention to the umpires are other umpires, like us.

Just curious, did the umpire association behave themselves, or did they act like idiots and yell "scab" at the replacements? I'll bet they were gentlemen, and not acting "professionally."
