So far, so good...it's early!

You should have waited until the second inning to post. the 1st base ump made a good call on the check swing, but has failed to get in position on any calls at first.

The plate guy's zone is awful. during one at bat he called a curveball down the middle a ball and a pitch at the eyes a strike. Also he hasn't made it past the plate on a ground ball yet.
