Until Umps Are Held Accountable This Is The Kind Of Stuff You Will See.

The robots are coming, and the umps will have only themselves to blame.

“Wow”, “ooh”, “woah”, “no, no, no”, “oh”, “awful”, “what”, “That might have been the worst one of the day”.

That pitch was so high I saw a joint drop!

And the real tragedy is that a player will get ejected for saying anything to the ump about these calls.

If you are bad at your job as a player, you get sent down to the minors and potentially lose your job. Umps have no punishment for being this bad. No stakes to be better.

The worst part about these is the fact you can tell they’re literally foaming at the mouth to throw these guys out if they complain

It’s getting worse every year.

I know it will never happen, but wouldn't it be refreshing to see a pitcher argue about how bad that called 3rd strike was. 😮😮

There was a call against the twins that was about in the dirt, it was a really good framing job but the umpire had to have had his eyes closed

Some of those pitches went over..........the batter's box on the opposite side the batters stood. WOW! Some strike zone.

I’d love to see the worst ball calls, pitches in the zone called balls!

Glad I can help in some way! Appreciate the content!

I love it when the announcers tell it like it is…”that’s a bad call…that’s a ball…that wasn’t even close” and so on. Plus, if the catcher frames it, it’s an automatic strike.

1:12 that strike zone looks a bit low

The Nationals got mad unlucky with the calls this season

Just as we have seen with instant replay, the umpires get it wrong a fair percentage of the time. Some plays are so close that you know that they're just guessing, which means that replays show that they simply guessed correctly on really close plays. This is why balls and strikes will be called electronically within five years. Before that, managers will be able to challenge these calls separately from other challenges.

At least 50% of the time. UNACCEPTABLE👎👎👎!!!

Bad home plate calls and reduced attendance. The end of MLB

Something has got to be done. These umps have nobody to answer to.

Should also have an unwritten rule. Anytime a catcher moves the glove, it's a near automatic ball called because chances are the pitch is out of the strike zone.

7:35 Magnificent framing by the catcher.

the epitome of incompetence

This is your average high school strike zone

This video could also be called, “The Case For A.I. Umpires.”

Some of these you could argue maybe, *just maybe* might have caught the very edge of the plate but it doesn't look it because of the camera angle. But the ones that never leave that batter's box? No excuse there. The MLB umpires must have the strongest union in the country to somehow protect the ones that are so pathetic that there is no excuse for them. Bad calls like this can alter a franchise's fortunes and future. (see the 1997 Game 5 NLCS game with Livan Hernandez's country-mile-wide strike zone as an example) MLB needs to figure out a method for accountability for the umps.

How these players don’t lose their mind like Schwarber every time I have no idea.

Further making the case for ABS!

Given how much every team that plays the Yankees complains about the “Yankee strike zone” I expected to see more Yankee pitchers on here getting calls. 🤷🏼‍♂️

6:12 - Judge gets a couple hundred of these every year.

You know what I think would be fun to do if I was one of these hitters getting such bullshit calls? As soon as the ump called it a strike, I would stick my bat WAY over to where the ball actually was, and yell at my entire team on the bench, "Hey guys, the strike zone is WAY over here today. Make sure you leap while swinging." Basically just make the ump look like a complete dumbass without ever saying a word to him or arguing with him. And if I got ejected for it anyway, I'd tell him while leaving the field, "Good, who wants to play anyway with a blind dumbass calling such bullshit calls all game. I'll come back when you get some glasses and can actually SEE what you're doing." That would be such a fun way to handle it.

Tradition, my *ss. Bring on electronic balls and strikes and fire Angel Hernandez.

Surprising that NONE of these, were by Angel Hernandez!

Catchers are taught how to jerk the mitt. They’re getting better at it. Umpires have to get better at recognizing it.

People want to see more scoring but it’s pretty tough when umpires invent new strike zones

That pitch to Carlos Santana almost hit him.

If it hits the zone give the umps a shock.

How was Wilson Contreras vs. Pirates not in here?

Do the coaches have a drs system like cricket it seems that would help ,if the coach thinks a strike three is wrong then call a protest a second upstairs umpire looks at the vision then makes the call

I hope to live long enough to see the year umpires are not needed behind the plate.

Really? You might get your wish. Sure seems like it's heading that way. But that with the replay... What will we have to complain about? We'll have to admit our team got beat legitimately instead of blaming it on the ref/ump. I personally like getting pissed off and yelling at my TV.

If I were one of these hitters, I might congratulate the catcher on the framing of the pitch. "Great job, man. That was a foot outside and you framed it as a strike." I'm not showing up the umpire, just complimenting the catcher.

Fell bad for those first basemen in this vid.

Merrill Kelly game 2 of the WS, nothing like it.

Do players even want an ump behind the plate? Too many times they make calls that affect the outcome of the game, and honestly it's unreasonable to expect them to make accurate calls for the length of a whole game. Especially when they are trying to track these projectiles moving 100+mph. It's not that people think they are biased or doing anything on purpose, it's just literally impossible to call a game perfectly accurate. They should just take a big bite of humble pie for the sake of the games integrity. I mean, if tennis refs can rely on the cameras tracking a ball moving that fast and making accurate calls withing millimeters of tolerance, baseball should be able to do the same.

Right? And the angle we see on TV isn't necessarily that close to the proper angle. Throw in some really nice frame jobs, and even if we can all agree that the eyesight of 55+ year old men probably shouldn't be relied on to make these calls, a lot of these are probably way closer than it seems.

I would hope that these clips are submitted to MLB as part of umpire evaluations. NONE of these were even close, so something is clearly wrong.

Where was Angel Hernandez ?

Since catchers get no love, they make up for it with frames.....

I dont watch alot of baseball. But it looks like that the strike zone. Needs to be from batters box to batters box.

Many of the commentators forget that the ball needs to pass ABOVE the plate to be a strike (in addition to being the right height). It is 3-dimensional. It doesn't matter where the catcher catches the ball relative to the rectangle that the program is drawing. That could be way off the plate and it could still be a strike if the ball passed above the place and then moved a lot outward, which happens in many of these pitches when, e.g., the pitchers throws from the right side and the pitch ends up on the left side of the plate.

Spills over into 2024...

What would happen if one of these bad calls should have given the batter first base and he decides to take the base and ignore the call? I would love to see it. And refuse to leave the field. Total insubordination.

Well they are taught to set up in the position called the “slot”. They don’t stand middle middle behind the catcher because believe it or not it’s actually a worse angle. Also another reason is if they stand in the middle they are much more likely to get rocked by a foul ball. It’s a safety thing.

Many of those were routinely called strikes in the 90s in the NL. Umps would give pitchers several inches off the plate. Then of course there was Eric Gregg, who would give up to 2 feet off the plate

kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5h2qtaro5C-qZc.html

Umps should be suspended

I get that there are some bad calls and we all have to expect that from time to time. But some of these strikes look worse than what they actually are. The strike zone box they show is not consistent from game to game. I will always blame a batter with two strikes taking a pitch two inches outside and getting a third strike called. Don't leave it to the umpire to decide your fate. A big part of what makes a catcher good is framing the ball and making close pitches look good. Make framing pitches illegal and and I bet the umpires get more consistent.

I love that the commentators are all experts only because they have the box as a guide and umpires don’t.
