Are we going to debate every call that is missed? This creates a slippery slope because every judgment call can be up for debate and certainly the close ones. If you cannot get this play right, find guys that will and you will not have this problem. The MLB needs to stop holding on to jobs of sons and of other umpires and give it to the best guys that grade out every year. I would not advocate any of this to a rookie do this unless they are MLB umpires.
