First it was the weather. Now its the umpires. :roll:

Suddenly Cubs fans have turned into the guy a lot of them hate the most- Hawk Harrelson.

I've been bitching about the home plate umps for weeks. Many people have.

That's ok Cubs fans, you can go back to blaming the weather again when it starts pouring in about an hour.

It looks to me like he's gotten most of the calls right. It's just the reaction of the fans to every close pitch that makes it seem like they're bad calls. That and the seemingly inaccurate Pitchtrax.

If there is a robot doing the balls and strikes, is there one for every base and does the robot make the calls on plays at the plate?

Balls and strikes only.

So is there a guy behind the plate to just make calls or does one of the other umps in the field cover it or what?

It's the same but it hurts the Cubs more because they are perfectly built and other teams are not.

Who are you mocking when you say shit like this? Bernstein? Maybe you should just tweet him directly.

The same pitches were made by Hendricks and Cahill were called balls.
