Umpire Scorecard Thread

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.

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.

    • I don't doubt his stuff.   I doubt his command.  
    • Language like “…salvage the season” is beginning to appear which is more than a little premature. I share the concern about having enough pitching for the postseason. 
    • Suarez needs to go the bullpen and he could definitely help there in a long/middle relief role. Suarez's fastball is averaging 95 MPH this year maybe pitching in relief and can add 2 to 3 more MPH when he needs it.
    • The trade deadline is a while freaking month from now, plus a few more days. I know it’s hard to believe because this board can’t go thirty minutes without discussing a trade and the Trade Deadline thread was created a long time ago (lol) but come on. Why are you convinced Elias will do nothing? Angelos is gone. There’s no reason to expect he will have to go to Ollie’s Bargain Outlet this time.     
    • I floated this idea the other day.  Going to try a slight different version today. For Crochet,  Kjerstad, Norby, DeLeon For Fedde,  Bradfield, McDermott, Chace 1. Feel free to call them overpays or underpays 2. Do the White Sox say no? I think those are two strong packages or one overall very strong package.  I think the Crochet deal is clearly stronger than the Burnes deal was at the time for a pitcher with more control but durability questions. We still hold onto our top 3.  They can try to manage Crochet’s workload if they/you believe in that.  Bottom line, we strongly upgrade the starting staff.       Burnes, GRod, Crochet, Kremer, Fedde.   You’re back to having depth with Irvin to the pen and Povich to AAA.   You can use Crochet as an opener to manage his innings. We still have chips like Beavers, Willems, Baumeister, Fabian to get rental relievers. Of course, this guts a lot of top and mid level prospects but it keeps Basallo, Holliday, and Mayo here.  With the upcoming draft, and the Latin program showing real progress in the lower minors, I think there’s no doubt we can take the position player hit.  Losing McDermott and DeLeon is tough but if you get two starters from the Sox you have to send some arms back.      
    • Teams have slumps, with or without injuries.  Add in a beyond belief amount of injuries,  and you have the 2024 Orioles.  
    • Elias plan is pretty simple and has been executed to near perfection.  Give the team as wide a window as possible to be a playoff participant and build a team capable of winning the whole thing if things break their way.   Based on the last several post seasons the team that hits the most home runs in any given series has won that series.  I think he has accomplished those goals. This organization is setup to have a 3-5 year run as a world series contender.  I have no issue with the plan or even the overall execution and anyone who does is not seeing the bigger picture in my opinion.
