What to Do With Struggling Umpires

The guys take a dive into the NBA with the Conference Finals starting tonight, and the NBA Draft Lottery with the Raptors sitting at a 1% chance to win the #1 pick. Then over to the firing of Doc Rivers with the Sixers and where this leaves teams like the Raptors with coaching vacancies. Finally, former MLB pitcher Ryan Dempster, host on Intentional Talk on MLB Network (29:37) weighs in on the Aaron Judge saga with the Blue Jays, his experience with stealing signs and why this was not exactly “cheating.” He also gives his take on umpires, the battle for balls and strikes and the relationship you need to establish with them. Then a chat on potential age limits on umps and the idea of sending them to the minors when they are struggling.
