After watching the World Series I knew I had to write about the umpires. Then Max put out a call in the writer slack asking for someone to write about the umpires. So I said, “Yeah, count me in!” And he goes, “Well, you just wrote about them a couple of weeks ago but go for it again!” And I said, “Wait, I did?” And that’s the story of how I remembered I wrote this article barely more than a month ago. In fairness to me, my original focus when writing that article was less about umpires in general and more about how they had been calling balls and strikes for the Royals and how much catcher framing impacted the game.
