It’s hard to take this sport seriously when they continue to allow Angel Hernandez’s poor performance to influence games.
I guess he takes that being “unsuccessful 70%” of the time at the plate seriously.

“Guy With Shitty Attitude Who Is Bad At His Job Continues To Be Bad At His Job.” is not a surprising headline, nor is the fact he doesn’t improve.
Not sure what else people expect.

Chuckle Carr had better strike zone judgement than Angel.
The Ump Score card is out and man he should have studied more. A Called Strike accuracy of just 77% is 11% below average.
The call to Schwarber was the most impactful but not the most egregious. That belongs to the pitch to Segura that looks about a half a foot off the plate.
He’s getting close to coin-flip territory.

Even Eric Gregg thought that call was bullshit.
Chuckie didn’t need strike zone judgment. Chuckie hacks.

Who was it that glossed him “feets don’t fail me now”?
Glenn “Feets Don’t Fail Me Now” Barker.

Thanks! I got “Chuckie be hackin” and “feets don’t fail me” confused.
I believe it was Glen “what was it by third base coach told me oh screw it feets don’t fail me now” Barker.

Looked like maybe Grossman should have caught the liner in the first place.

Not exactly a masterclass in fundamentals by either team
Yeah, I score that E9 in the first place, then TE2. That was awful. But I know what the catcher was feeling. As soon as he let that ball go he wanted to pull it back…you see it in slow motion…“noooooooooooooo…”
Fundamentals question: what, if any, is the protocol for outfielders backing up would-be rundown plays like this? I’m mostly wondering why the LF was where he was (almost CF) when the throw sailed over 3B.

It’s possible he was headed over to back up second in the event of a rundown, since the center fielder was over with Grossman cleaning that up.
