Umpires are actually better than ever statistically. 90-95% correct.

The information on their accuracy is also more available than ever

They might be more accurate but when there are bad calls they’re atrocious calls

Ok, but how hard is it to be 90% accurate?

Pretty dang hard. Takes a long time to work your way into the majors.

Missing 8% of 250 pitches in a game is 20 missed calls? Why live with that when

It’s 8% of called pitches. Swung-on pitches don’t count. So you’re talking about

Good point. Still 0 >>>> 6 when it comes to missed calls.

Plus here's the most recent 92% ump scorecard. 8% was 13 misses in this case.

It’s time we use Hawkeye for balls and strikes!

Their arrogance and willingness eject players for an eye roll is what gets
