  • Absolutely terrible calls made by home plate umpires including Laz Díaz, Ángel Hernández, and C.B. Bucknor. These are some of the worst strike calls ever, and players like Shohei Ohtani, Kyle Schwarber, and Bo Bichette had the bat taken out of their hands.

      My thoughts exactly. For starters, Chisholm just plays with some flare and swagger. If he's showing up anybody, If you even want to call it that, He's clearly doing it towards the pitcher and not showboating the umpire. These guys are so sensitive though that they have some arbitrary code for how the game should be played

    Note how many of the $hit calls are from Hernandez. Horrible umpire. Also note the number of times an umpire rings up a player is with the count full and the player knows it is a ball and starts heading to first. It's like the umpire does not want you to be calling the balls and strikes so he will call you out if you start heading to first.

  • @crs1639111

    It’s simple. See ball hit ball.
    You’re only going to get one good pitch per AB. When a hitter has 2 on ‘em, you have to shorten up and protect. Don’t leave strike 3 up to ‘Blue’.
    Most, but not all, of the called 3rd strike looking, were close enough for the hitter to make an attempt.
    And, a lot of nobody’s begging for calls. As a hitter and pitcher, you’d better have proven you deserve the corners. Unless Angel Hernandez is behind the plate.
    Then, protect your ass.

    Umpires should have someone in their ear telling him what the strike zone outline said. A good way to stop this from happening would be to review every pitch after the game and fine the umpires for missed calls.

    It seems to me that ever since they put that little rectangle in front of the catcher, its much easier for the pitcher to throw the ball there. Years ago, pichers had to guess. Doesn't seem fair to me.

    BAFFLING. If you argue against a wrong call, you also get tossed out of the game! If that isn't the most oppressive regime, then I don't know what is. For once I'd like to see a batter actually toss an umpire out of the game lol.

    Go back and watch some games from the 1970's and be amazed at how big and wide the strike zone was.

    CB Bucknor, Ron Kulpa, Angel Hernandez, and Joe West, the Mt. Rushmore of worst umpires ever, with honorable mention to Don Denkinger

    Umpires definitely can decide games even if they're trying to do their best. That being said, it's a tough job.

    Framing should be illegal. First time gets a warning. Second time walks the batter. Third time catcher ejected.

    Ever notice the fact that most of the bad calls were made by angel Hernandez

    5:13 was the worst ball/strike call I've ever seen. I'm a Rays fan in Dallas, I was at the game, and if it hadn't been the second week of the season I would have been enraged.
