I thought PU last night was real good with her zone and calls. 2BU had one out/safe on a steal. Appearance though (required mechanics and uniform), which rank and file umpires cant do anything about, is what I was discussing.
Their uniforms look terrible. They look like animated legoland cops.
I think its obvious most of these umpires (foreign ones where ISF is easy to get) are out of their leagues with the good teams. Their timing is off, they do not look relaxed. That is why we are getting the outsafes/and bad positioning.
