From what I understand the ump who called the previous game had a zone the size of a 65" plasma tv. His is typical. I am sure this plate guy saw the previous game and he told himself " there is no way I am calling a game like that!" So he over compensated and was tight. I saw some of the game. He was tight. That is human nature. He did over umpire. Gave the count waaaay too much. If you have 10 other umps calling a huge zone and 1 ump who calls a descent zone you are still gonna make players and coaches unhappy. Btw, I have been making players and coaches unhappy for 15 years!!!!! At least I have that going for me....
