Message: [QUOTE="AreBee1969, post: 2873672, member: 7315"] I think any player or manager is looking for some sort of consistency. Some guys give the outside corner, some the low strike, and they do it for both sides. That's something that most pitchers and hitters can live with if its a consistent call. Hernandez is anything but consistent, and Culbreth at first base was awful with his swing appeals. When ever talk turns to bad umps, I think of Joe West. He has a history of inserting himself as part of the game. A good ump should be almost invisible. Guys like West, Hernandez and CB Bucknor are never that. BTW, Sabbathia ripped Hernandez after the game.
