Not sure, but earlier in the thread someone posted the chart and he was at 15 balls called strikes and 1 strike called a ball

After that point, he had at least another dozen balls called strikes
 
"Hi! I'm reporting on the White Sox win over the Jays! Let's interview the star of this game. Here he is now! So, what did it take to earn this win?"

UMP: "Well, you know, you gotta give it 110%..."

Eddings is known as a "pitchers" umpire

Easily the most liberal strike caller last year

Umps aside, I think it's time to let Montoyo go. The team is underachieving, it's not all his fault but you have Joe Maddon just sitting there out of a job. He had success everywhere he went, except for the Angels. He took young Rays to the World Series, and he took young Cubs to the World Series and won it. It's time to at least talk to him.

Follow umpire scorecard on twitter. Last night‘s game is not out yet, but here is game one of the series.

 
These are the games that people are gonna remember if we miss out on home field for the WC series, or miss altogether. Umps aside Romano should have shut it down.

Its hard to blame one person, every MLB team except a few old school managers like LaRussa, Madden are handed their lineup from the advance stats nerds / Shapiro / Atkins. In each scenario they are told which relief pitcher is avail and should be used. I agree that Montoya has questionable decision making skills when it comes to managing his pitchers.

Correct call rate of 86.2% last night for Eddings. Unreal

Isn't 95% considered the bottom of the acceptable strike accuracy standard?

Ah yes because dancing in the dugout is what led to their relief pitching blowing three different leads and having a legally blind person as an umpire.


God you so desperately want to push your narrative but fail every time.

Yeah but imagine how pissed Bo is over their dancing while he's giving it his 110% by grounding out on the first pitch with men on 2nd/3rd and 1 out.

If someone was this bad at their job, they would be disciplined. No wonder the idea of robot umps calling strikes/balls is gaining popularity. Wait until this happens in a playoff game for a big market team not named Yankees or Dodgers. Imagine the uproar if this happened to someone like the phillies

Umpires get performance reviews too, you just never see them publicly, but you can sort of when you see postseason assignments, all star game assignments, crew chief and alternate crew chief promotions. It is less likely to happen in the playoffs because MLB takes all this data to figure out who is doing a good job.

Remember Angel Hernandez had to sue MLB to get assigned to a playoff game.

For MLB 90-95 is acceptable.

All that said what I have noticed the last few years is the new (ie young) umpires are much better at calling balls and strikes. It is the old guys 50+ that are really struggling. The catch-22 is those are the guys who are the best leaders of crews and game management, and you really need them there when shit hits the fan.

In my opinion MLBUA needs to up the pensions they are paying umpires and permanently lower the retirement age. Have a big hiring surge of the younger umpires, and just say we'll put up with a few years getting to know each other in game management situations. It will filter all the way down in the Minors too.

There was a game earlier this year where shit hit the fan and the crew got kind of screwed over. The regular crew chief was on his vacation, and the #2 got injured the day before and the replacements were low level guys in seniority. The crew was made up entirely "#3s and #4s". That is the catch-22 but if you want better B/S percentages you might need to put up with that. However, I think it just slipped through cracks there.
 
Guillermo Martinez has been tossed while exchanging lineup cards.

IMO, there needs to be discipline for that umpire. There is literally nothing that you can say to an umpire who objectively blew 35% of his strike calls that isn't warranted.

Just saying, if a little dancing is good, a lot of dancing is great, an all out 9 inning dance dance dance party... we are unbeatable.... clearly we did not dance enough to influence the outcome.

The only way that I could see this not being an incredibly poor look on the umps is if he attached the umpire scorecard to his lineup.
 
should we flood mlb twitter with fire the umps. seems like the only way to get anything done in this day and age is by a twitter cancel culture method

this is stupid the umps are acting like they are mobsters just wacking(tossing out of the game) anyone that gets out of line or has a question
