RE: OT: Umpires

There is no consistency to strike zones night to night or even during the game. I don't know how batters can succeed with the strike zone of some of these umpires. Case in point during last night's Yankees-Red Sox game. When the Yankees were up 3-1 and the Red Sox were threatening, Nova pretty much had to pitch directly over the plate to get a strike. Then when the Yankees were up, Lester was getting strike calls a foot outside (confirmed by pitch track) and he was striking the Yankees out. As soon as the Yankees extended their lead to 5-2, those same foot outside strikes became balls again. I thought when they started installing the cameras to grade umpires on ball and strike calls, that they strike zone would get better, but apparently not as I guess the umpires are not being held accountable.
it's been awful this year. and he's not calling it for both teams, just one. last night was the worst I've ever seen it.

RE: OT: Umpires
There has been many of games where the umps have dictated the outcome of the game. And it is going to happen even more as the season goes on. I can't wait ot see how they do in the playoffs too.
