I'm not sure it's where they're from so much as we suffer the same "see it" (because that's how they call it!!!) and having no benefit of review.
Might I add that one PR run that scored came from a dude who was awarded 1st as HBP, when in fact it hit the knob of the bat (and should have been registered as a strike).
I'll agree that those are hard to catch, but it's another case of the highest levels of baseball resisting the use of technology to get calls right.
