Umps can and often change the momentum of a game with their calling. When an ump completely and suddenly takes away the strike zone for one team forcing a pitcher to throw down the pike every time. they will get hits. Makes you wonder about his motives, especially if he lives in the same city as the team he stayed consistant with!!!! Like it or not, Mr. Blue can and sometimes intentionally upsets a great game. Blue can't be perfect every call, but you can tell the difference between a blown call and down right cheating. Let the players decide the outcome, and keep dishonesty out of it. I take comfort in knowing that the game book is not the only record being kept, the other you have to answer for.
