It’s why guys like Bob Davidson and Ken Kaiser had jobs for years when they were assholes and terrible at their jobs. Some never got hired back after the 99 failed negotiation tacit but some did when they settled and got first rights to jobs back. Many of the new umps aren’t good either but they aren’t the same level of jerks a lot of the guys used to be.
Oh yea, it will never happen.
But having the ability to fire these guys (or relegate them to the minors) and/or hold them accountable for their sh!t job would be great.
Good numbers through 3 innings but again, he’s having issues throwing strikes. Only 54% of his pitches for strikes and has thrown 61 pitches.
Still, only 1 run, 1 walk, 3 Ks and 4 hits. His “bad” continues to be good.
