This is a good point. I don't have any sympathy for them, really. Any position in major league sports is looked at just as critically, and every other sports referees are critiqued and their errors corrected and they learn to be better. Someone baseball umpires think their above that and oppose technology that can make things more accurate. Don't get me wrong, I love the human element of umpires, but they should definitely be held to a higher standard and trained to be better. People like Angel Hernandez and Cowboy Joe have no business being anywhere near a major league game, especially when they care more about their call standing than getting the right call.
