I love how this is right after Angels horrendous game. Perfectly_balanced.jpeg
Can I get some of that strike percentage?
Chad is the RoboUmp ™.
What a chad
hell yeah, king
That .03 really threw us off our game and lost it for us
Guy must have a strike zone chip in his head lol

Absolute Chad.
you love to see it
When I was watching the game, I was thinking he was doing a pretty darn good job. Need more umps like that.
I wonder if the bad umps hate the good umps for making them look bad. Whitson, Hoberg, the guy (name forgotten) who only missed 1 call last week. Then you have Hernandez, Bucknor, and Gonzalez, who missed 18 calls in the Jays Rockies game last night. 75% strike accuracy. Yuck. There are little league umps that could do better than that.
They should take the best plate umps and have them only do behind the plate. Yeah, that’s gruelling, no ump wants to do plate every game. Maybe they will like it if their pay is doubled.

I really hope Chad sends this to Angel in the ump group chat
That looks like the report card after one pitch thrown in an Angel Hernandez game.
Love to see it
Meanwhile, we had angel
Almost an ump perfect game. Don’t think we’ve had one yet?
this guy needs a $600M/12yr contract
Angel’s getting angry!
okay but with one missed call how is his strike zone calculated to look like a potato?
We totally would have won if not for that call.
Garbage ump. Not a single high-and-inside strike call. 😉
No surprise that I’ve never heard of this guy before. Just as it should be.
Like watching a game umped by Mr Magoo’s father, who once spent 83 days separated from his platoon in Vietnam.
We have a new hero.
How do you call a game that correctly and end up with a EUZ like that? Wouldn’t a near perfect game have a near perfect EUZ?
In the real world Whitson gets a bonus/promotion and Angel gets fired. In the ump union world Angel probably makes way more than Whitson due to tenure. The system is so messed up
They may need to reformulate the EUZ or even get rid of it if it’s giving results like this with a nearly perfectly-called game.
Pat Hoberg 🤝 Chad Whitson
This seems like a low total number of call/no calls for a full game. Lots of swinging. Also notable that on non-swinging, ball in play actions, only 25% of calls would be strikes, as batters take the obvious balls. So over the full 9 innings, this guy is only calling 3-4 taken called strikes each inning.
Well done. Easy workload night.
Rangers and Astros deserve this guy
Those 0.03 runs cost Chicago the game. Fire this bum! ^/s
The broadcast crew is drumming on a trash can to say if it’s a strike or ball
