I think what really bugs me about this editorial is that the author uses an example where the umpire had to use judgement and not a situation where is was an "application of the rules" problem. We all know from being there that a ball coming at a high rate of speed can sometimes look one way when it is really another.
How come no one complains when Mr. Piazza uses his "judgement" to determine when to swing and not swing. If in his judgement he decides not to swing, should he be fined if it is a strike???
