I don't understand how you can be a professional umpire and call a pitch a ball that was 4 inches from any edge of the zone.

You can count on one hand the number of competent umpires.
I can’t wait for the rise of the robot umpires.

it’s 2021 we shouldn’t still have this much “human element“ in the game.

Maybe the audio is being manipulated, but the Tomahawk chant sound seems much less intense than in the past and not seeing much of that gesture. So I guess that might be a bit of progress for the moment.

I’m pretty sure that Altuve < smoot, Albies > smoot, but I may have misheard the announcer. . . . Meanwhile, this is the longest, slowest game ever.
If I recall correctly, 1 smoot = 5'4" (~161.5 cm) plus an ear (?). I'll grant Albies exceeds the standard; uncertain about Altuve.
