Well both can be right. It's not mutually exclusive.

Blue was bad AND **** the dodgers.

Bad call, but if you want anyone to care then you need to find an example that isn't against the most entitled and garbage franchise in the game. It's like when a bad call goes against Texas. No-one cares. In fact, people applaud that call.

Honestly, when I started that video I expected the dogs to get a called strike a foot outside, not for a call to actually go against them.

And yes, **** the dodgers. They can kiss my half Mexican ass. Garbage organization, and worse fans.

As I keep saying.

I'm generally against the robotic umpires, but the human ones keep trying to sell me on the idea.

Ump behind the plate for Astros-Angels last night was unbelievably inconsistent.

When they finally do implement robo umps there will be a contingent that still complains that the calibration is off or some other nonsense but you will NEVER get egregious misses like this one and countless others scattered throughout games each day.

It's way past time to implement it.

It happens in every game.

Go to Roboumps on every pitch and let the players themselves determine the outcome of the games.

I think the players would appreciate the consistency but hate the corners called. Maybe the result should be roboumps with a slight rounding of the corners... if you like scoring.

3-0 courtesy strikes will go away.

Late game blowout wide zones will go away.

I miss the umpires that were in MLB from the 60's through the 90's - names like Doug Harvey, Lee Weyer, Ron Luciano, Augie Donatelli; Harry Wendelstedt, Bruce Froemming, Al Barlick, etc. In those days it seemed that the players respected them more than the ones umpiring today but the games they umpired in weren't always televised and subject to being exposed to bad calls. No reviews were done either like they are now.

The hitters would hate it or the pitchers would hate it?
