Sounds like Nuremburg.”

Yeah, let’s compare Major League Baseball umpires to Nazis…

(BTW, they do suck about 20% of the time).

MLB = Form over function and common sense

T,
“They hit his guy in the head, and Gardy gets warned.
MLB umps suck.”

The umpires procedures in those cases are strictly mandated by MLB. They do what they have been instructed to do.

If they issue no warnings, and the situation escalates to chaos, their jobs are on the line.

MLB sucks, not the umps!
