Is MLB the only sport left not fixed?
I mean refs control every other sport to the max. Vegas has no sports teams for a reason.

Baseball refs have been terrible for ever ever moving strike zones

I don't see why anyone who was convinced Sports were fixed, would bother to watch. As a kid, I LOVED professional wrestling, but once I realized it was fake, I stopped watching. Almost instantly. The day I believe the NFL is fixed or choreographed, I'm done. Done watching, done carring and done in general, just no point imo.

Baseball has been just about the only sport that isn't "tainted" by officiating for a while.
Now, they have a huge steroid problem and always will because the cheaters are ahead of the game at every step of the way.
But as far as officiating goes, there are more judgement calls in a single baseball game then there are in any other sport.
Every pitch is a judgement call, every close play at first and every close play at any base.
But, for the most part I think the baseball officials get the calls rights. Now, maybe it's because baseball leaves little room for doubt. There is no joint possession rule and there isn't a lot of the BS that there is in the NFL regarding subjectivity.
Baseball has it's rules and they change very little. By nature, they really can't change all that much.
Every year the NFL institutes about a half dozen new rules and the rulebook has become so cumbersome and convoluted that on any given day, you're likely to get opposite rulings on similar plays. Also, the breadth of the rulebook often times over rules common sense. I guess in the flimsiest of stances you could say there was joint possession last night in the Packers game but any person with a set of eyes and understanding of the game would flat out agree that the Packer intercepted that ball. This isn't basketball where merely touching the ball is enough to cause a "Jump Ball" and thus award possession to the receiver.
Baseball is likely at the top in terms of on-field performance although they have less to take into consideration than football or basketball does.
