I consider myself a pretty good fan but you provide a scouting report on the umps? Half of which I don't recognize the names? Ok.
Where are Doug Harvey and John Kibler? Jocko Conlan?
I'm by no means an expert on the umps, but I think I keep a little closer eye on them for the most part than most fans due to my interest when I was younger in being an umpire and my continued attention while being a baseball fan through my adult life.
Generally speaking, the less you recognise an umpire's name, the better they are. Once you get old enough to just have name recognition not for a specific incident, there's a reputation behind you from your overall work that can be fairly easily broken down, I think.
Doug Eddings is a good example of that. He's been around for a while. This is his first World Series, but he's been an overall consistent umpire throughout his career in my opinion. He definitely has a shorter temper than some, and has had a few notable confrontation, but if you're comparing his temper to someone like, say, Joe West, he's a pussycat comparably.
The rest of the crew is a solid mix of good older umps and some of the younger guys that have good reputations overall. There are definitely not any duds on this roster, which is fairly consistent with the WS crews for the past 5 years. I won't get in to a deep dive of the CS and DS crews, but the MLB has actually done a pretty solid job of keeping the total fucksticks away from the biggest spotlight. I'm sure we all remember Angel Hernandez's awesome ALDS performance(s) last year:
