There has long been an umpire problem in baseball. For years fans have been watching as umpires miss calls, shrink the strike zone, and throw people out. Things only got worse when networks began to show a virtual strike zone to their viewers. Now fans know exactly when the umpires were wrong and it seems as though they were wrong more than they were right.
