With the technology now there's no way umps should still be calling games

Depending upon the website you read on this, the umpire was fired from the conference he was umpiring in and will never be allowed to work in that organization again.

Another site said the umpire was just suspended.

I think he was fired. There's a statement from the conf commiss saying he's gone.

he made it personal

Nothing worse than an emotional umpire getting his feelings hurt from the wrong look of a batter & then proceeds to alter his strike zone.

 

[Wagerallsports]

They all have different strike zones and all change it from game to game

Every other professional sports does what they can to make sure their officials enforce & follow the game"s rules

MLB makes no effort and let's umps run rapid

Makes no sense

warn or toss the kid for showing him up on the previous pitch if you want to do something like this

he needs to be fired, that’s absolutely ridiculous

It’s absurd, as a young gun hot head in that kids shoes I could’ve possibly committed assault with a deadly weapon with my bat on that old crusty, senile, blind fuckin’ umpire.

Was the kid an idiot for showing where the previous pitch was with his bat and jumping around? Yeah, but it’s unreal to see an ump actually call that
