Dude was objectively best ball/strike caller in the game. In Game 2 of the 2022 World Series he called all 129 taken balls and strikes correctly (!) and was considered among the best overall.

It always baffles me how stupid some people are and how they justify what they're doing because they're "at the top."

Just dumb.

For decades, we can't get rid of guys who are TERRRRRRRRRIBBBBBBBBLE at their jobs (looking at you Eric Gregg and Angel Hernandez) and then guys like Holber do stuff like this.

some players get nothing. I guarantee you of some scrub gambled, he would get banned for life and fined
I was referencing the lack of any punishment for the Astro's stealing a WS through cheating. What MLB is saying... "It's okay for players to rig the game for the sake of winning the game but, it is not okay to bet on the game because then they might rig the game to win money."
