Calls like this affect game outcomes way too often. Umpiring needs to be better, period! With no accountability it only hurts the league. And they wonder why players want electronic strike zones pic.twitter.com/215FlgqFqy

Was it a strike? 100% but would you put Ted Barrett or any big league umpire on blast if this happened in big leagues? If you would then I apologize. But I was watching and definitely thought it was a strike and thought you handled yourself very well.

I wouldn’t have to but MLB umpires on blast. Managers are allowed to have players’ backs and the MLB has an accountability system to keep umpires honest. NPB doesn’t have this and allows umpires to get away with too much, thus hurting the players and league.

Not to mention having pitch FX on live broadcasting and the mass coverage of sports broadcasting puts umpires on blast enough in the MLB. But if I had to, then yes I would for the betterment of the league.
