June 11, 201511 yr For those who are not aware of this site, it reviews all ejections in MLB and assigns points to umpires based on whether the call leading to the ejection was correct. There is also almost always a link to a video of the play.I don't visit very often but it is another perspective on umpires and their performances. It's certainly not the best way to evaluate umpire performances because it evaluates only plays resulting in ejection but it can be interesting.There are other features of the site as well. http://portal.closecallsports.com/
June 11, 201511 yr Fun, although their scoring might be a little too cut-and-dried for my taste. As I've noted elsewhere, that strike call last night was within the typical zone even if it wasn't in the technical zone. I wouldn't really give the umpire a full demerit on that one.
