I looked at the umpire scorecards for all the games yesterday . . . Wegner had one of the BEST called games . . . it was a terrible day for the umpires!
The is BS, that guy was egregiously bad.
every time i see these it just so happens the the 3 biggest calls are majority of the time against the astros lol
I missed the game last night but when I saw in the box score that Snitker was ejected I watched the replay. It did seem like a particularly questionable performance overall- .31 seems a little low.
+0.31 is just calculated from the average run value of the situation where the umpire made the wrong call. Umpscorecards do not put those numbers in on a whim. The average run value is calculated from several years of data, see this for more: http://tangotiger.com/index.php/site/category/run-win-expectancy
