Arrr, me hearties! The legends Tino Martinez and Nick Swisher be talkin' about how the MLB umpires have been makin' more bad calls this season than a sloop with a leaky hull. It be like tryin' to navigate through a storm without a compass! Aye, it be a rough seas for sure!

In the language of a 17th-century pirate, let's talk about the scallywags known as MLB umpires. Arrr, these calls be controversial, matey, and the ones in 2024 be only addin' fuel to that fiery debate. As technology be advancin' in the minor leagues, some be wonderin' if these umpires might be walkin' the plank into obsolescence. Many have been shoutin' their opinions about the strikes and balls bein' called, especially behind home plate where the calls be as wild as a stormy sea.Legendary New York Yankees first baseman Tino Martinez weighed in on the matter, sayin', "There be good umpires and there be bad ones. Some of 'em enjoy bein' rotten to the core, gettin' on the fans' nerves like a pesky parrot on a pirate ship. But we need the best out there every day, not just the scallywags with seniority."In a recent game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox, the scoundrel C.B. Bucknor made a call that had the Cardinals seein' red. And even the Yankees weren't safe from the wrath of the umpires, with Captain Aaron Judge walkin' the plank after a disagreement with the plate umpire.Fellow Yankees mate Nick Swisher agreed that some of these umpires be needin' to walk the plank if they can't do their job right. Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer suggested usin' the electronic strike zone to keep these umpires in line. While some be holdin' onto the old ways, many be hopin' for a fair game for all, especially when the playoffs be on the horizon. Arrr, let's hope that these salty sea dogs can get their act together before they cause a mutiny!
