CC is distracting especially in the middle of the screen. CC is an option for a reason. Otherwise great interview.

Who in their right mind would want to attend an umpire school with the wendelstedt attached to it? The man just threw a manager out of game for no reason whatsoever. I though that angel hernandez was a joke, now I know he has company in that club.

Harry was a good umpire. Bobby Cox even said that. Now Hunter that's a different story.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, coach. Those who can’t coach, officiate!

Do they also train you to make the game about yourself, eject people for no reason, and have zero accountability when the evidence was obvious you were wrong about something that was not even a matter of judgment?

Hunter is a disgrace. He should have admitted he was wrong after throwing Aaron out yesterday.
