Rich what I am looking for is more ways for guys in the minor leagues who are busting their buts and making peanuts to have a LEGITIMATE chance to move up.

It's similar to us amateurs. If we have a bad game in a HS Sectional game or say a D1 College game, chances are that will most likely be our LAST BIG game at least for a while. Others now will have a chance to get a BIG game.

Major League baseball officials are there for practically a life-time. I realize there are many more games in baseball but IMO, they should be taken to task when they blow a call equivalent to Ed Hochuli and they are not.
