Better Living Through More Bureaucracy

Doug Melvin now wants a panel of official scorers at each game. Soon we'll hear the call for replays on more questionable events, the call for six umpires in a game, drug testers in every dugout, etc. There will be more people officiating the game than playing it.

Or we can have open regulation of those who currently score and call the game to keep them honest.

a panel always fixes things.

No need to get hysterical, Ron Paul Jr.

Melvin's comments were quite clearly aimed at increasing the accuracy of official scoring - which is a legitimate need to anyone who has ever watched a ML baseball game.

And, as has been demonstrated alot this year, replays can improve the accuracy of in-game officiating. Or is getting a call correct another Big Brother plot?
