This may be judged as a quick pitch by the umpire. When the pitcher disengages the rubber, he must drop his hands to his sides...if the bases are unoccupied it should be treated as an illegal pitch

The beauty of statistics is, he cannot claim discrimination! I hope that behind the scenes, MLB's On-Field Operations team AND his own union are going at him with performance statistics and working to get him back on track. If they document the hell out of that process, and he doesn't improve, then when it comes to fire him, the MLB should have a rock-solid case for terminating him due to poor job performance. Unions are there to fight for better pay and working conditions; they should not be there to defend the incompetent.
@ChavTheBully5 ай бұрын
I hear you man, I really do. Angel pisses me off most days that I can catch a couple games. BUT baseball is an old-school sport that historically has real-time calls on the play. Truely it's a monumental point of the sport. At 6:18 you said a statistic about missed calls (you said six missed calls a week but it really doesn't matter for the point I'm making). This game is coming into a new school era; requires more "small" rules, stipulations that have to rely on technology and iPads for the teams to nit-pick every small minute detail to make a decision on a challenge. Baseball, right now, is in purgatory as for which ways calls should be handled. MLB needs to make a decision. Do they want in-time decisions entrusted by with umpires or cameras able to track slow-motion, multiple angels and find true decisions on the time of the player and fans? I could go on and on, but MLB needs to make a decision. Angel is a shit-bird but I can't blame him on every missed call like most people would consider.

This may sound stupid. But I think there should be a technology where there is a invisible strike zone that only the umpire can see through a special pair of glasses. Just like what we see when we watch a broadcast of a game. This way, the umpire would not have to rely on some sort of special Technology that is feeding them the strike zone if they were to use that device. With the way AI is now and holograms or whatever. I'm sure there could be a company that can develop some sort of imagery that is placed in the batters box that is "laser" based. And again this strike zone is only visible through a special pair of glasses that the umpire wears.
