Re: Well, ,,
The first umpire says that "there are balls and there are strikes and I call them as they are."
Not proper grammer, but a good statement. Its not if the umpire does not call it. The second umpire says that "there are balls and there are strikes and I call them as I see them." A true statement. However, the umpire might have a little problem with this statment if he didn't "see them" The third says that "they aren't anything until I call them." Kind of old school, but again very true. So I agree with all of them - Thanks Quote:
Can they really all be correct? For instance, isn't umpire #1 implying that he has the ability to determine with 100% accuracy the ballness or strikeness (I know, that sounds retarded, but you know what i mean) of every single pitch according to some agreed upon standard strike zone? This is not possible, humans aren't perfect - I'm sure even the best umpires are unsure of a call every once in a while. Isn't he really calling them as he sees them?? Now Umpire #2 - he at least concedes that the most he can do is make a judgment, according to what he See's, to the best of his ability. I don't know?? comments?? |
