I haven't witnessed a choke job like what I'm witnessing here in forever. Just choke after choke out of the bullpen - handing them runs.

The umps don't lose their jobs.... you ever watched tennis? They have used electronics for years and have a review system - and the umpire still has plenty to do.

the system they tested doesn't work like that - yeah breaking balls might be a little tricky, but I really don't think so. But its not just the tricky pitches they are missing. They are missing calls on straight, not moving 4 seam fastballs by 3-5 inches or more regulary.

The White sox dugout and Mazara were furious - they could tell from the dugout. I'm not even sure what you are talking about in the rest of this post. You can tell most of these pitches are bad calls without the benefit of any graphics. But if you watch the zone trackers they sure look correct at least 99% right or better.

only thing is.. no one was asking him to treat ever game like game 7. That's not what was happening at all.

Way too many mistakes this year - its been bad. In the Giants game the umpire missed 27 calls in basically an elimination win and in game. Sorry I don't agree.

yeah its a hard job with framing.. but when you watch all these misses (check out the umpire auditor thing someone linked) The batters know like every time. It's not as mysterious as they are making it. They are just bad at their jobs.

No one here that I saw or myself said the reason we lost was the umpires. He did ring Mazara up on a terrible terrible call in the 8th- would have been 2 on and 1 out - instead was 1 and 2 out. So was very crucial miss.

so statistically.. hard to quanitify -but his calls cost the white sox 0.5 runs oh that was yesterday...

Not disagreeing that he shouldn't have swung - but the ball was inside corner. Not low and outside.

They just need to use the k zone, computers and get it over with. Like the human eyes in the dugout can tell from far away most of the time that the pitches are being called wrongly.

Like Mendoza put it perfectly... "The hitter should get credit on 3-2 for not swing at a pitch like that, not punished - that's now how the game works."

It's not just the sox - its all over. The Giants basically got eliminated in their final game by the umpires. In 30 years of watching baseball I've never see such incompetence as this year.

I'd rather he got something to pull then - opposite field grounder. But it would have been a hit if it was just a little bit right or left.

don't like that he swung at that pitch - but he hit it hard.

is it bad that id rather have yolmer DH then Mazara... he has shown much more power... how sad is that statement.

Dh Mazara tomorrow? Hopefully they stick with McCann catching - even though he really hasn't been hitting lately besides one game.

We may never see another LH starting pitcher for the next 20 years.
