    Not looked at the numbers lately, but they were getting better. Slowly as older umps retire. Though, there are still going to be a lot of missed calls as pitchers throw hard.

    Not an easy job at all, but if you're one of the ~150 best people on earth at it, you should be able to do your job well.

    Have we recouped our $10 mil yet ;)

    If not, I wouldn't mind another season at league minimum.

    I've hated the royals ever since 2015. I really do feel like, had we closed out Game 4 like we should have (up 6-2 in the 8th inning I think?), we might be talking about 3 Championships in 9 years instead of 2 in 7.

    Kinda missed my point but that’s ok. Yes, I think the reasons why jon doesn’t start consistently have been on display for all to see. I wasn’t asking why. I was simply making an observation that a small tweek could have made a big difference for him.

    Irony = in testing to see if I'm on someone's ignore list, I subsequently got ignored ;)

    Feel bad for them. At least he's not out for the season.

    I think a lot of folks here don't live and breath baseball. Its a sideshow and other things in their life are far more important.

    But even among the dedicated fans, not many watch all 162 games.

    That’s pretty much the season if he doesn’t come back before that timeline.

    Luckily it's broken and not bruised, if bruised he'd prob have to get Tommy John and be out until 2030 Like Tucker

    That was a super painful loss that made for a pretty bleak flight from Chicago to Houston for me after watching in an airport bar.
