With proper positioning and timing, these missed calls would be reduced dramatically. That is why it is important to continue to refine and work at your game. Eliminating these mistakes eliminates mistakes. Guys, you don't have to get all worked up over this. Don't take it personally. Learn from it and incorporate it into your game.
If you read the story and accept the figures it is based on, they are b!tching because the umpires are were wrong on less than 1% of their calls.

Is this really shocking?
