Caught a bit of the game tonight (bottom of 9th, TX leads 5-0) and I thought that the winnowing process also applied to umpires (well, traditionally). It sure doesn't look that way to me. I'm seeing some of the worst behind the plate calling ever, like just after spring training and everyone is getting their legs. Or else these guys need lasering.
