@UmpScorecard Data Shows How Bad Umpiring has Particularly Impacted the Nationals in the First Half of the 2023 Season

how can the difference be *SO* bad
For pitching it’s mainly on Ruiz and his subpar framing. Not sure why it’s this bad for the batting side. I have a theory that it could be due to some of our hitters being free swingers and overall most of them being bad at taking walks. So, the umpire doesn’t give the nats the borderline calls because they assume that Luis Garcia or CJ abrams have a bad eye versus someone like Soto who will benefit from the borderline calls because umps assume he must have not swung on that pitch, because its outside. Would have to look at previous years data for this though to see if it was any different when we had rendon,turner, harper, soto.
Ruiz is also supremely dreadful at framing
Would love this posted in r/baseball too!
Genuinely think that there is *some* unconscious bias due to Davey.
Sean Murphy master framing.
Robo umps now please, framing shouldn’t impact games this much.
