redditors are terrible but I feel like the last 5 years or so, r/baseball has become a huge whinefest over umpires' performances. half of the most popular posts revolve around umpire "scorecards" and clips of marginal strike calls, then batters throwing tantrums

take this post about a called strike on yankees player last night: https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1n7zczo/lowlight_jazz_chisholm_jr_is_heated_after_being/

huge cringey hand wringing devolving in league-wide complaints about umpires. As a yankee fan it's a pretty good pitch and batter has no right looking at close pitches on 3-2, 2 out, especially with no one on. but every day it's a new hysteric post upvoted by everyone about terrible umpires. growing up I never remember people whinging about umps this much aside from the occasional one-off bitching. additionally, data seems to say that umps are getting much, much better

everyone's cheering for ABS/auto pitch calling but to be honest it just sounds awful and bloodless and unrealistic for a three-dimensional strike zone

it is three dimensional, though the 2D box the tv broadcasts show may be misleading you (and redditors)

That was a nasty pitch, crazy movement on that. I don't see anything wrong with the strike call

People who whine about calls in baseball are 95% of the time just totally biased and have zero self awareness. Every time I watch one of these clips the people whining about it are wrong and the ump is right

In general sports fans are ridiculously biased and it comes off as really cringe when you're casually watching a game with some people and they're getting legitimately emotionally upset about calls that are totally fine and they're just angry that the calls are going against their team. It's like kindergarten tier behavior

Remember watching baseball before the on-screen graphics with the strike zone? Now people, even announcers, can't ignore it. Just watch the game. Usually the ump is consistently wrong if he is wrong.

/r/baseball blows

umpiring level these days is incredible. they are exponentially better than the eric gregg gays of the past. the strike zone box on tv has been a disaster for whiny bald manboobed baseball redditors to complain about. in reality, even when the umps miss, its usually really borderline.

All those on screen graphics are fucking terrible. I'd rather have the glowing puck and NBA Jam-esque comet tail for slapshots than have a permanent rectangle graphic overlaid with irrelevant and often wrong pitch types. Slurve? Slider? Sweeper? Sinker? Who gives a fuck? If you can't tell by watching, what does it matter?

They need to go full robo ump. Some games umps miss like 10 % of the calls, it can really alter games.
