I have to jump in here. I was at the game in Milwaukee where Hohn ran two coaches.
He was unsteady in the scissors all night and it looked like his knee was on the ground about 25% of the time - always with a LH batter. On top of that, Hohn was getting into the stance way late -- he was still moving down after the ball had already left F1's hand.
Like any other experienced umpire, Hohn can get away with that when he's on. When he isn't quite on...
I have this problem from time to time. I have to focus on getting locked in earlier from time to time and it makes the job a whole lot easier.
