Tim, I did read your post.
It is your OBSERVATION that umpires are missing this call.
How do you KNOW the reason WHY? Did you ask each of these umpires why they made the wrong call? Maybe they are
just blowing the calls without any ulterior motive.
I'm a good umpire, but I don't think I am good enough (or fast enough) to think about what's "expected" of me before I react and call it (hot line drive down the baseline). Come to think of it, what's expected of me is to call what I see, without regard to anyone's opinion/expectations. If that were the case, we wouldn't need umpires and coaches could just call the game as they see fit.
