Anyone see Ron Kulpa during the Astros game last night? Dude should be suspended at least.

I mean over the course of a game, how often is the call wrong? May be some games are worse than others, but I'd be willing to bet the percentages are pretty low from game to game. Personally, I would rather not lose the human aspect of balls and strikes, as well as seeing an entire skill set go by the wayside.
Ah - Dansby is starting tonight. I really wish he was resting his wrist... just to be safe.

Lots to look forward to in this game. Can Ozzie and Dansby keep it going, can Donaldson and Acuna start to take off, can Fried provide us with a quality start. Even after the sweep in Philly, I'm starting to become far more optimistic about this team, especially with Gausman, Folty, and Soroka coming back at some point in the next few weeks.

should have just googled it.
This article suggests that umpires miss about 15% of ball/strike calls.

BR did a top 50 prospects list, Pache/Riley/Touki/Wright/Anderson were on it from the Braves.
which is why the pitch framing statistics have a certain amount of volatility and take a while to stabilize and tell an accurate story...in one of the games McCann caught in Philadelphia there were a couple pitches clearly in the strike zone that the umpire called balls...when that happens it hurts McCann's framing stats even though it was simply a case of the ump missing those calls
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Never even thought of that. But it’s true. If there wasn’t an umpire behind the catcher, the catcher could be placed in the field with no one on base. Would greatly reduce the speed of the game as the pitcher would need a new ball after each pitch, but would make for some great strategy.
