I'm not promising to update this on a daily basis so if anyone wants to contribute, go right ahead.

This is the kind of game where Umpire Scorecards really drops the ball. You have an umpire who clearly can't see pitches below the zone calling a game where one of the pitchers is a sinkerballer who l

Aaron Boone got thrown out of last night's Yankees / White Sox game for arguing an eighth inning third strike call that was clearly correct. However, in Boone's defense that may have been one of the few calls that home plate umpire Laz Diaz got right all night. MLB really needs to do something about guys like Diaz and Angel Hernandez. Their performance makes a mockery of the game.

Somebody in the MLB offices needs to have a talk with Adam Beck. His gifting another 3-4 inches at the bottom of the strike zone to Gausman last night changed the approach of our entire lineup. That +0.41 runs for TOR doesn't come close to the real advantage he gave them.

Watching the games, I can’t take umpire scorecard seriously. Unless our box is way off or something. But even then, you can see where the ball crosses the actual ball player. And shins are not strikes.

The top of the box they show on TV is a little lower than the actual top of the strike zone, so I generally don’t mind if the umps are calling strikes 2-3 inches above the box, so long as they’re consistent.  But the low strikes being called in the Gausman game were absurd, as that chart shows.  

Looking at Ump Scorecard quite often this year, I’ve realized that the bad calls favoring the pitchers outnumber the bad calls favoring the hitters almost every night.  I understand that one of the reasons runs are way up in the International Lesgue is that the electronic ball and strike calls are actually neutral and don’t give the pitchers a bunch of extra strikes.

Three Run Homer Hangout Veteran Council

Not surprising that the analysis concludes that Colorado benefitted from Bellino's calls.  There was one big call that went the O's way that isn't well-captured by this methodology, though--the ball called on the first pitch to Mullins in the 8th.  It was an obvious strike, and the bad call rattled the Colorado pitcher, who then walked Mullins on 4 pitches and threw a cookie to O'Hearn on the first pitch.  

It seems like Blach understood Bellino's strike zone and took advantage of it much better than the O's pitchers did yesterday.

The worst call of the night wasn't considered "impactful". 

What amazes me about these umpire tracking sites is the fact that it is the veteran umps -- not the newbies -- who are the absolute worst.

They’re old and can’t see.

Impactful?? Gibson's last start, he throws a strike well within the shown zone, called a ball. Gibson adjusts..I assume he thinking I'm not getting that call. Next pitch grooves one HR. (first run of the game)...Home plate umpires can really f'up a pitcher's mind. I guess a batter's too, but a starting pitcher is looking to throw 100 pitches.

      Where are the pollyannas?

      By Hank Scorpio · Posted

      I too was *this* pissed off yesterday. I'm sympathetic. But the reality of the situation is that Kansas City played out of their minds defensively and baseball happened.  Now, this was a microcosm of the second half of the season and that's just a fact. They dealt with injuries, just like every team does... they just didn't deal with them very effectively. I'm not sure if casting blame upon the hitting coaches or Hyde really holds any water for me. But I understand the desire for a scapegoat. It was REALLY hard to watch batter after batter trying to hit a 13 run home run on pitches that weren't really all that close to the strike zone. They were way out of their lanes and it was patently obvious that panic was setting in. I felt like it was a basketball game and Hyde needed to call a timeout or something. Like they needed to be snapped out of it or something, maybe by something drastic like, oh, putting Jackson Holliday in there for an at bat in an important spot.  They hit a lot of balls at guys, they swung at bunch of BS repeatedly. I saw it from Mountcastle, Santander, Henderson, Cowser (embarrassingly so), McCann during game 1, Rutschman too.  The only thing I could maybe blame Hyde for is not successfully alleviating the panic. Baseball's different though... I'm just a slapdick fan, I have no idea what the realities of his job are. But that lineup needed to find a way to relax and the further the game went the more they freaked out. It was the opposite of a loose dugout. It was fear, panic and foreboding doom. Is it even possible to snap that group out of it? I dunno. The veterans were the ones (other than Mullins) that were pressing the most. I think I would have found a way to get Holliday or Kjerstad some meaningful at bats. Yeah, maybe that's Monday morning quarterbacking. Maybe they would have reacted the same way the rest of them did.  They couldn't have been worse...

      Ok I’m changing this a little. Don’t know O’Hearn is worth the 8 mil.. Maybe we can replace. I’m actually pretty juiced at the potential of this and all of these guys are overdue for regular ABs together.    CF Mullins 3B Westburg C Adley SS Gunnar LF Cowser DH O’hearn/Mayo 1B Mountcastle  RF Kjerstad 2B Holliday Util: Mayo (regular DH platoon, spot starts in the field, Mateo (speed/defense)

      Honestly, they need to fix the right field wall too.  It is too ridiculous and screws with the right-handed hitters.  Move it in 10 feet and lower it a bit.

      The Royals

      By LookitsPuck · Posted

      I said it before, and I'll say it again. This Royals team is entirely a function of their starting pitching (Ragans, Lugo, Wacha, Singer) and their recent BP arm pickups/conversions (Erceg, Bubic, Lynch, etc.). Their offense is basically Witt, Pasq, and Perez. I was pretty confident that the O's could shut them down going into this series, and they did. They only scored 3 runs. And none of their run scoring hits were all that amazing...if at all. The issue, of course, was the offense. Was that because of the pitching? Personally I thought Ragans looked hittable. He pitched better than Lugo, but the O's came up tiny in RISP situations. Same as yesterday. Ragans and Lugo mostly pitched out of the zone, and the O's just were aggressive. So, in this regard, give the credit to the Royals scouts and analytics teams. They knew exactly how to pitch to Santander: up, up, up. They knew exactly how to pitch to Cowser: low changeups. They knew exactly how to pitch to everybody not named Cedric Mullins. This Royals club is half decent, and if this O's club was the 2023 team, they shellack them. Alas, here we are. Think the Yankees are going to railroad these guys if they aren't rusty.

      Ryan Mountcastle avoiding getting hit in his dick with a pitch while trying to hold up his swing was infuriating.

      For the most part, no. The biggest thing a manager does is the culture they set and what they do off the field.  By all accounts, the players like Hyde, the culture is good and the team is happy with him. Now, if there is something there that we don’t know about, by all means make the change. However,  if every report is true, I see no reason to make a change. That’s making a change just to make a change. I would rather focus on the on field than assume some ceremonial change at manager is going to matter. Its been studied and we have talked about it a lot but in game strategy is so similar that its really only a game or two in terms of “manager WAR”.
