I'm all for it. Consistency is vital. We can ask Orange but I'm pretty sure the rule book doesn't say a strike is to be determined by whoever the umpire is for that particular game. Human element and controversy are most definitely NOT what I want to hear about when a game is determined. Here is my example:
Game 7 of the World Series, Angels are down by one in the bottom of the 9th; Mike Trout is up to bat with 2 outs and the bases loaded; and Angel Hernandez calls him out on a third call strike that was obviously 6 inches off the plate.
Sorry but no thank you. I rather have the best team win and if Trout let a close pitch go by so-be-it. You want "Human Error" and "Controversy" go watch reality TV or a soap opera. I prefer sports to be won by the better team that day, not because of a bad call. In every sport that I watch the best umpires/referees are those who aren't remembered after the game.
