The Plate Meeting, a LF Umpire Podcast from Close Call Sports

I really enjoyed this interview with Bob Davidson. I definitely was not a fan of his during his career but after listening to his stories and getting a little perspective of what it’s like to work your way up to the big leagues I have to say I was very surprised. Sounds like a great guy with an awesome sense of humor and not the grumpy, balk calling, quick hook umpire he had the reputation for. Great interview. Looking forward to more like this!

TMAC’s voice is way louder than the guest. When listening in a car, for example, I have to turn it all the way up to hear the MLB umpire speaking, but then when TMAC talks, it’s so loud it literally hurts my ears. Can you please turn TMAC’s mic down or post produce to normalize audio? In order to hear the guest well, speakers have to be turned way up. When TMAC’s voice comes in, it is way too loud.

It’s ridiculous. No objectivity and seething anger at fan frustration. Nearly unlistenable.

I’ve followed CCS for five or six years and I have participated in the UEFL for the past three years, so I know that Gil does a great job on everything he puts his hand to. This podcast is no different as evidenced by the first episode with retired MLB umpire Bob Davidson. I can’t wait for more episodes to come!
