I won an under bet tonight and didn’t want the game to go longer but the ump that called that last strike on a check swing did it last game too. Gave Morales should be eliminated from umpiring post season games. Terrible.

Yes, lots of posters have mentioned why not replay on this, fuck your judgment call, this is split second decisions from 120ft away. The technology is there to help with this call. Games , careers, money always decided by idiot coaches, and officials.

Not to mention the horrible strike calls on Bryant by the homeplate ump. Robo umps, and replay on check swings. How can an ump decide a series clinching moment like that? That shouldn't even happen on a Tuesday in early May

I umpired slow pitch softball at the top level and I know softball isn't baseball, but I'm in the Hall of Fame for umpiring so I know a little bit about the rules etc. The call on Bryant because the catch set up inside and the pitch was outside should have no bearing on the call. A strike is a strike and a ball is a ball. I hate hearing announcers say the ump didn't call it because of where the catcher was set up. If pitchers had that kind of control, they wouldn't walk anyone. It makes me sick.

Officials love to make hero calls, makes them part of the game, they think they're going to look smart but they really are just making an ass out of themselves

Often times the biggest calls, or non calls, happen in the biggest spots. Hence they think they're fucking heros


PS: I slept through the call, I'm trusting you guys :)

The best official’s are the ones that don’t get noticed.

Not a strike in any world, ump deserves whatever ridicule he receives

You cannot suck that bad, especially in a spot that big
