This is one more reason to have electronic ball and strikes in baseball. When you watch a game with electronic monitoring shown on TV, it becomes obvious very quickly how umps are on so may pitches. 10% inaccuracy is baseballs accepted failure rate. So, for an average game that might have 300 total pitches, that's 30 blown calls!
