I still don't really get why MLB umpires have the job security of a Supreme Court justice

Their union is extremely powerful and refuses to do anything about bad umps, they tell the league they'll just have to deal with it.

I'm normally pro-union and I like the players' union. But the umpire union just seems corrupt as poo poo

So wait I got here late and I'm looking at the box score, is there some kind of mistake on MLB.com or did the Orioles sacrifice their DH?

McCann got pinch hit for in the fifth and Adley was already the DH. Gave them the opportunity to pull Mateo too since he's a black hole of a bat lately.

E: That switch, specifically, has been the Brandon Hyde special this year. He almost always has Adley DH on off days and if the game is even remotely close he'll pull McCann and move Adley back late in the game.

Coming into today, the Orioles were playing 5 games above their pythag and the Cubs were 4 games below theirs. Hooray for regression to the mean! :toot:
