Yes we all make mistakes but this is a pretty basic one. It is one thing to miss a call that is close, but to rule when you know the catch has to be made or completed is another. And it has happened more than once, which makes me think that the MLB does not review game tapes or situations like other sports. Heck once I would see this by a fellow umpire in the league, I would think this is something I would want to totally avoid. But maybe the MLB does not do this constant training and evaluation like the other sports. This is the third time something like this has happened this year, I guess I would think MLB would tell their umpires this is not acceptable.
