The latest victim of mediocrity in Major League Baseball's umpiring problem are the San Francisco Giants. During their matchup against the Philadelphia Phillies, it was home plate umpire Larry Vanover who was in the spotlight for his exceptionally liberal definition of what a strike is.In the top of the fourth inning, outfielder Mike Yasztremski was called out on an egregious outside third strike to begin the inning, instead of being awarded a leadoff walk. According to Fangraphs, leadoff walks score nearly 38% of the time, which would have been critical as the Philadelphia Phillies won the game 6-5.SF Giants on NBCS@NBCSGiantsThat’s a strike?? 🧐17922That’s a strike?? 🧐 https://t.co/h3NekhquMc"That's a strike??" - SF Giants on NBCSThis is nothing new to Major League Baseball fans, and it was only a matter of time before the San Francisco Giants fell victim to umpires such as Angel Hernandez or Sean Barber.

Ever since replay reviews were instituted in Major League Baseball in 2008, fans have been calling for an automated solution. While the robotic umpires' ability to determine balls and strikes is still a work in progress, it doesn't do much to quell the desire from fans who want an end to these blatantly erroneous calls.foréigean@hateincarnate1Do they even WANT to keep their jobs?
