You can't suspend an umpire for making a bad call.....it was a mistake not an error in judgement or a felony?!!!

A critical mistake made while doing a job he gets paid to do. My employer may indeed suspend me if I made a critical mistake at a critical moment.

Then we need to go back and suspend and/or prosecute all the umpires who had made bad calls over the years! I also think stadium arrest might be in order?!!

The league should review ALL calls that are contested, but not so much to overturn them as to let the umpires involved know that when they have been found in error, they will be cited by the league.

It won't reverse the call but put the umps on notice that THEY will be held accountable for the integrity of their calls. Set a limit for bad calls and when you hit the limit, you get sent to AAA.
