Thumbs down 3 and You're Out!
For the 3rd time that I've seen this season a MLB umpire calls a runner out when the fielder doesn't even have the ball! This time it was another play at the plate in the Toronto @ Detroit game.

But they are paid a lot of money right? I would think they could do very basic things that we are taught at a LL umpiring camp. It is time to overhaul that staff. I would love to see video but that is unacceptable if remotely true.

Yeah, it's getting pathetic but look at it this way. We are gaining a lot of video to show our rookies!
  1. Even the big dogs make mistakes!
  2. Sometimes you are in the wrong place!
  3. Timing, timing, timing!
  4. Don't rush the call!
