No way. 

On what planet did his calls favor the orioles? That’s ridiculous. I’m not saying we didn’t get a couple of calls towards the end of the game but c’mon.

Yea no…zero chance he was that accurate.  Now, the MASN box isn’t perfect but it’s not THAT off

The problem with these score cards is it looks at just the box area and not taking account into the entire picture of ball and strikes.  Rogers wasnt getting the lower strikes called like Peterson was.  He had atleast a handful that were better pitches then the ones Peterson was getting.  They were most likley just below the zone and balls but he called so many low pitches way below them that they should have been called strikes to keep the consistency.  If your gonna call the low zone then you have to do it all the time not call strikes that are low one time then the next time not call it.

Sadly, when it comes to pitches that are not in the strike zone, the average umpire is only correct 88% of the time.  

I didn't know that!

They rarely miss calls on true strikes (97% accurate), but the pitchers get a lot of incorrect strike calls in their favor (88% accuracy outside the zone).

He missed way more than 7 pitches!!

I had a feeling his accuracy % wouldn't be that bad. The problem was how egregious those misses were, but there's no stat for that. 

He did miss a few that went the O's way. He gave Akin a bad one.

I wonder how much game planning goes into factoring in the home plate umpire. Seems like a lot would. Then hope that umpire stays consistent with his MO.

It was for sure both ways.

I think it messed up Holliday for the whole night.  As was pointed out, that’s why that site doesn’t capture the whole picture of egregious missed calls.

And young players like Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, etc... would struggle the most because they have roboumps in the minors, so they know what a real ball/strike should be.

The site I saw said he only missed 7 pitches. He was missing 7 per inning. These scorecards are wrong.

[Rbiggs2525]

I went to check the MLB TV app and they did not have as many misses. Seemed very fishy to me.

[ShoelesJoe]

Umpire gifted two NY walks in the bottom of the 3rd, one of which eventually scored. But we're supposed to believe the total missed calls favored the Orioles. 

 

[Can_of_corn]

Why would the Umpire Scorecard guy mess with their methodology just to make it look like the O's aren't getting screwed?

Use some common sense folks.

It might be accurate, it might not be, but we have no reason to think it's biased against the O's.
