Robo umps are needed. It’s gotta be so frustrating.

It was frustrating to watch last night.

He's still doing it at 80?  Wow.

 

Still has the pipes too!  Saw Willie Nelson last month and he blew away Dylan and Plant/Krauss IMO

Ump show: Even Jackson Holliday gets the rookie treatment with brutal calls against him!

Orioles rookie Jackson Holliday is latest victim of the ump show

Home plate umpires are great for content, but not necessarily for the health of the sport. That is why Rob Manfred and MLB are exploring a new challenge system which would allow players (or managers, for that matter) to check on surprising calls during at-bats.

He's definitely made a swing adjustment as he's hitting the ball in the air a lot more than when he first came up.

I think its safe to say Holliday has that monkey off his back.  5 for 14, missing 1 homerun by an inch and another by a few feet.  

Seems hes just going to now play normal baseball and do normal baseball player stuff....but hopefully better than those other players.

Different guy so far.

How quickly people change their tunes. Almost as if judging a 20 y/o off of 34 at bats wasn’t smart.

[Say O!]

Looks like he belongs

Not that many people judged him off that.  I do think he looks very relaxed and instinctual this time around compared to last.    His ability to take heat up and away and stroke it with authority to LF has impressed me.

lol..plenty of people judged him. And while plenty of people on this site judged him, I’m not just talking about the small segment of the fan base that is OH.

If they’re not on OH, they’re not really fans.
