[Umpire Scorecards X] it’s bad 😬

9 comments

1. So are the umps pushing for a 24″ wide plate?

2. Wills, your strike zone. Woof.

3. Wells was trying to sell those outside calls from the first pitch and he got the ump to bite all night. Kudos to him.

4. He was bad all around, but we got fucked because Stro just lived outside. If we got 2-3 more of the walks we should have, he’s forced into the zone and the game becomes much different.

5. I knew it was going to be bad long before seeing it lol.

6. Not good Lois. Not good.

7. It being .12 for the Jays is so laughably bad it kind of invalidates the way they calculate favor (and honestly it’s always been silly).

   I know they assign run values to every pitch, but it was completely one sided for the first five innings, and the strike zone was specifically bad in a way that was perfect for how Stroman wanted to pitch. It legitimately changed the game for the Yanks in the first half of the game and kept them in it. It wasn’t “man some of these calls are bad”, it was “Stroman is getting enough of those calls way outside that hitters have to change their entire approach”.

   Once relievers came in it was just bad for everyone.

8. Where there’s a Wills, there’s not a win.

9. jeff nelsson thinks this is totally fine
