When Major League Baseball players blow games, they stand at their locker afterward and explain what happened. They answer questions like, “What was going through your mind on that play?,” and, “Did you feel something mechanically off in your swing?”
They stand there and answer questions when they do something stupid. Maybe they started a brawl or maybe they yelled at a teammate. It doesn’t matter. After the game, the media will ask them what happened and we hear their side of the story.
However, major league umpires don’t fall under the same media availability guidelines.
