It burns my *** that an MLB umpire again blew a call on a steal at second because he was meandering his way over to second, never came set and never adjusted his angle to get the proper look. Granted this wasn't as close as the Gerry Davis gross miss, but the runner was clearly out.
It is one thing to hustle, be in the right position, adjust to get the best angle you can and just miss a call. But there is no reason for the piss poor mechanics mechanics and just outright laziness that I have seen displayed by MLB umpires this year.
Is it too much to ask of them that they act like they care. Well paid professional umpires shouldn't miss calls because they can't bother to get in position. That is what amateur umpires are for! ;-\
