1. It's Spelled With a CFBF, But Not Where You Think Posted: August 12, 2011 at 06:42 PM (#3898775)For the life of me I'm not sure why it's so hard to design a stadium where home run calls are easy.
Because the guys who have to call them are usually several hundred feet away from them.
-- MWE
With today's technology it's the easiest damn thing in the world to see if the ball went fair or foul, especially for MLB and major events like the College World Series. There shouldn't even be a need for the field umpires to have to go look at the replay themselves.
Really, it's just ridiculous. I consider myself a traditionalist, but baseball's reluctance to embrace 21st century technology pisses me off to no end. Some traditions aren't worth holding onto.
In the MLB playoffs that excuse shouldn't wash, if the 5th/6th umps actually bothered to station themselves right under the fair poles, rather than 100 feet behind the 1B/3B umps...
