Something like.... the two worst-graded umpires in terms of balls-and-strikes each year are let go, or if you are graded in the bottom 10 in terms of balls-and-strikes in back-to-back years, or 3-out-of-5 years you are let go. (There are 68 umpires.)
We would be rid of the Joe Wests and Angel Hernandezs.
This would not fix the problem. Some are worse than others but they ALL miss some calls.
It would get rid of all the whining by both sides on balls and strikes.
