Umpires ALDS

[Rbiggs2525]

When do we find out the umpires in the division round? The first game against the Ray, the umpire was giving Jordan Montgomery 2 inches off the outside corner to RH hitters. He was not doing the same for Glasnow due to him being a RHP. Could be very important to the outcome of the series.

 

Of course 4 errors cost the Rays that game.

For the Wild Card Series, they announced them Monday at 1:30 PM, so probably tomorrow afternoon.

Umpire assignments have been released.

Lance Cole Barrett was born in Fort Worth, TX and went to High School in Crowley, TX (both near Arlington).

Per Umpire Scorecard, Barrett is the only one of the group that is appreciably below-average from an accuracy standpoint behind the plate. 

Quinn Wolcott has the highest average accuracy (over expected), followed by John Libka, Cory Blaser, Alfonso Marquez, and Barrett in descending order. 

Interestingly, Barrett will be behind the plate in Game One, and he’s among the umps that are most favorable to home teams. In a loud and raucous environment, with the fans hanging on every call, he seems like a decent bet to err on the side of the good guys a few times.

Thanks for sharing the research!

Low and away to RHB looks tempting.

Lance Barrett is one of the worst umps in baseball; definitely in the league of Angel Hernandez.

No one is in Angel Hernandez's league...he's in a league of his own...

I thought Barrett called a good game yesterday.

Pretty good job by John Libka.
