Umpire Scorecard Thread

Is their way of saying "true strikes" and "true balls" a way for them to give the ump an out?  If a pitch is on the corner and just brushes the box, is that labeled a "true strike" or "true ball"?  The wording seems a little up to interpretation to me.  All 5 "missed pitches" were completely inside the box or completely outside of the box.

So 5 missed calls and at least 2 against the Orioles listed in the graphic.  Boston whine several innings, had an ejection and kept going.  Seems like I was right that they weren't justified.  

I don't know how consistent these are, but it does match with my eye test, not that that isn't biased.  Haha

Edit: either way I feel like this is something the Sox have whined about over the years and gotten better calls over time.  I'm glad yesterdays whining didn't amount to much.

Doesn't the scorecad say that the calls favored the Orioles by .58 runs?    That's sounds pretty biased towards the Orioles which of course is just luck.

Seemed like a lot of strikes outside of the TV box so I thought I'd check the score, and sure enough, the HP umpire was below average but at least it was in the O's favor overall. The Coulombe call was huge. The difference between loaded bases and one out and 1st and 2nd and two outs.

It was Doug Eddings worse game of the year. https://umpscorecards.com/single_umpire/?name=Doug Eddings

Glad to see the Orioles getting calls in our favor.  

I've been on this site for a long time, I've seen a lot of kvetching over the years about calls not going our way as if we were some team that was loathed nationally and there was a conspiracy against us.  So,something the other way is nice to see.

As I noted in the game thread before the game even started, when I saw he was the ump, Doug Eddings is a longtime, veteran umpire whose reputation for years is that he has the biggest strike zone of all the MLB umps.

If I remember correctly the batter before Coulombe should have struck out but the ump missed a strike three on a down and in pitch and next pitch the batter singled to left.  I guess the two missed calls evened out.

You're right. The 1-2 sweeper on Zack Short was called a ball but was a strike according to game day.

    • A player who is a FA after this year TB is not going to care where he goes. That said they only have Armstrong and Rosario. Potentially Maton. 
    • I don't think we really need to trade for CF just because we have so much depth at COF. We could promote Mayo or Kjerstad permanently and just see how they shake out, which wouldn't offensively be as bad as Mullins has been this year. Slide over Cowser to CF if we can't find that good a deal, and then go for anothter SP arm and some more depth in the pen. They don't trade Basallo because (and this is just me speculating) that they could move on from either Mountcastle or O'Hearn in the 2025-2026 offseason depending on if they can get a good return on them, like what we saw Tampa do with Austin Meadows a couple years back and the Orioles have a backup to replace said bat or bats.  In terms of who we go for, I don't really know. I don't like the idea of reuniting with Tanner Scott because his control issues and walk rate are still very present. I'm not in love with the idea of going for Kopech because the numbers and peripherals are average at best.  Carlos Estavez from the Angels, sure but how high is that asking price going to be? Whoever sells come deadline time could be interesting, as teams like the Cubs and Tigers could potentially be sellers come deadline time. Maybe even the mighty Astros who haven't been as good this year could be persuaded to sell off some talent depending on who we make available. It's a little to early to tell as of right now due to a good chunk of the sport sitting at around 500, but who knows at this point? 
    • I don’t think it will meaningfully affect who they are looking to deal at the trade deadline. The Orioles will be more inclined to include guys who they aren’t planning to add to the 40 as the last pieces in a deal, but there isn’t a huge crunch that means they NEED to clear 40 man roster space. Of all the guys after Hays on that list, I think Strowd and Young are the only ones who are high probability of being added right now. None of the other borderline guys have much trade value at all. Note Baker is out of options next year, he’s going to have to pitch well the rest of the year to warrant his spot.  I also think Luis González is going to get a look at some point and will ultimately become the new Vespi for 2025, optionable lefty riding the Norfolk shuttle. 
    • Yea, for this season. As I said, any of those guys are capable for a season or 2 but the odds are that they won’t live up to larger contracts and that you don’t want to get into expensive deals with guys like that.
    • Good question. I have been so focused on this season I have given zero thought to the 40 Man and Rule 5. I think Santander gets QO and O'Hearn goes FA. We could lose both. I don't really see any young guys that "must" be protected other than Mayo, McDermott, and S. Johnson. D. Johnson is having a nice season as CF is a need but not sure he belongs on the 40 man. Davidson is having a nice season. I could see him taking a deep depth spot to replace Zimmermann.     
    • I wonder if he could comp with the glove to a guy like Alec Bohm? Big dude, not a great defender, but doesn't kill his team and makes some great plays along the way with the glove while mashing with the bat.
    • That's good. By the time he gets back he'll almost 31, so there's some age decline uncertainty to go with the health uncertainty. I certainly won't be counting on him for anything. But you can hope 2 years of light workload (and a reinforced ligament) will rejuvenate him.
