Three point:
1 – I never said anything about firing him. I only pointed to someone else’s opinion.
2 – The link I gave cited several incidents of missed calls and not just one.
3 – Your point about Meriwether being one of the few black umps in a racist MLB is irrelevant to the point being made even if it is true. The bottom line is that if you are a bad ump you shouldn’t be there regardless of if you are black or white.

MERIWETHER IS A JOKE –UP AND DOWN IS OK-STRIKES WAY OFF THE PLATE AND UP ARE A JOKE-
NEVER SHOULD HE BE DOING PLAYOFF GAMES
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Chuck is one of only two Black Umpires of the 62 in a racist MLB.
To suggest he be fired based on this incident in light of his entire career is absurd.
