Re: Are baseball umpires getting help from the booth?
[ QUOTE ]
Your detailed technical drawing notwithstanding, suppose the second base umpire has a better view of whether a pitch is inside or not--I imagine sometimes he does. Should he overrule the home plate umpire's decision. I imagine the 3rd or 1st base umpire has a better view of a tag play at home sometimes. Again, should that be overturned?
A manager can't argue balls and strikes. Why should he be able to argue "out" and "safe" calls, or fair and foul calls?

This is just inane. Obscured views and bad angles happen in baseball, umpires should do what they can to counter-act it.
I'm not even going to illuminate, you're being stupid.
