Former Major League Baseball umpire Dale Scott joins the program to discuss umpiring in MLB. Scott talks about how they were evaluated back when he was an umpire, and how he was taught to call balls and strikes. Scott talks about how the strike zones on tv vary from team to team. Scott talks about how the league has changed. It used to be that all players and fans wanted was consistency, but nowadays the fans and players expect umpires to be 100% accurate. Scott thinks that umpires are tired of hearing how bad they are and are ready to just give in to the automatic ball system.
