I loved it! When a tremendous presentation they did! I want to see it again!
Dan Iassogna reminded me of how I reacted when I received the notification that I had been selected for my first (in any sport) state final in baseball last June. |

If anyone finds out when it's on again, please post the info! I've been to the MLB Network website, and it only lists their TV show lineup for the current day.

There is a calendar on there and you can search for different days.

If there had been something a bit more major (i.e., Iassogna's call at the plate was actually incorrect), it might have given a glimpse inside how the umpires really deal with it and how it affects them. If that had been portrayed well, the fans might have gained a bit more respect to the umpires and how hard they actually work to make the best calls possible. I still think MLB could make this a season-long show. Either have a camera crew follow around an umpire crew for the year. Or, to show different personalities, park the camera crew in a multi-team city (Chicago, New York, LA) and film all the umpire crews as they come into town. |

But has there really been more respect displayed by fans? Initially perhaps. But it has gone away even faster.

I would like to have seen the postgame between the umpires and their discussion of the call. Rita |

I have searched, and there's nothing showing up. The only thing that piqued my interest was a show about the 20 most controversial calls in MLB play.
