Not an umpire , anymore... So I decided to get a copy of the "rulebook" "2019 Official Rules Major League Baseball" by Triumph Books LLC. I think they used the smallest font they could get their hands on!! Need a magnifying glass to read it. and by the way boring as hell

The outside (balloon) protector was more difficult from a mechanical perspective BUT..does anyone think it offered better protection? Was it better for calls side to side, but not up and down? I got out of umpiring many moons ago and the balloon was still an option and was all I ever used....Yea OLD!

Older clip...so maybe already discussed. No call here..obstruction or interference??? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erLVM02B_TE&list=PLmXls1U_4DVbuzE0B0dEH4_lkDiz5PBmX&index=4

Just from an outsiders viewpoint..... I understand an umpire getting upset when a player tries to "show him up"....and I believe an umpire really banging a called strike three falls into he same category. MHO

Tell BR to hustle a little more!

Anyone ever call a game from behind the pitcher?
