That Mario Bro's 2nd base umpire is the same crappy PU umpire from USA vs Italy.

He is terrible and IMO, offers nothing that one could learn from except perhaps what not to do.

Thats pretty sad for such a high profile event.

Another thing was the lack of IP calls with Abbott so clearly off the plate. Kinda embarrassing when they are doing close ups and shes 3 inches back off the plate, 4 umpires, what, only a token call or two?
