It absolutely blows my mind that a franchise hasn't given him a giant bag to pull them out of the baseball depths. He hit on almost everything.
I'd love to see a player pull out a card with the name of a good Ophthalmologist on it after calls like these. BTW, an Umpire has to miss badly to register a miss with the pro umpire evaluation system their Union designed. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/in...grades-really-work-means-future-balls-strikes https://www.crossingbroad.com/2023/...d-that-it-made-angel-hernandez-look-good.html
Surprised there hasn’t been an article yet on the extremely abysmal umpiring plaguing the playoffs so far
They're tweeting about it after every game. These are supposedly the "best" based on regular season performances, and they're pretty much all having worse games in the playoffs. Yes, their margin for error has never been lower. Yes, all mistakes get amplified because of the box and because we can all track every call now. Yes, they have a very hard job to do. Why they don't accept help at this very hard job that gets measures my millimeter judgement of 95+ mile projectiles hitting a moving target is beyond me. They can fix it. If broadcasts are going to dig in on calls that are "right/wrong", they should want to fix it so they don't get singled out.
No game today. enjoy it for a little bit more. Granted, Astros fans should know excatly what this feels like based on 2005 and how there's no such thing as game to game momentum. Of course they only had to win one after the nut-punch. Rangers will have to win two.
