MLB umpires are notorious for making quick calls and not exercising good timing. Most often, they get the call right and nothing is said. But on occasions such as these, they look totally inept.

So I wouldn't say this is indicative of a new trend. They've probably been doing this for years. We just have more opportunities to see these mistakes with all the replays we have access to nowadays.

I can't wait to see a PU coming up with a Strike call when the batter hits the pitch...
