And the umpires is way back making calls at home plate

Ok, seen this and had to share. Umpire is calling home plate this far away from the catcher. Could be due to COVID-19. I think he wold do a better job behind the pitcher or center fielder maybe.

Where was this??

We are in Myrtle beach this week and umpires are calling balls and strikes from behind the pitcher. Pitch calling hasn’t been overly bad, at least from what it looks like from the stands. Everybody knows that’s the best spot.

but close plays at home have been awful. Missed out on a run and an out that could have made the difference.

I appreciate the need for safety and that umpires are out here though. Not trying to knock them just what we have seen.

it has to be due to Covid. Too many umpires take pride in what they do to stand so far back
