It's a special talent to piss off both teams. Not easy on the same play.
And at the same time
On the same call too
Angel Hernandez: you have done well.
Like Bill Burr says (paraphrasing)...."It's easy to piss off one side. Pissing them both off, now that's an art. For example, Trump is such a dope, he seriously made me consider voting for a woman."
TJ Perfect comment.
Don’t understand why they can’t just put the umps with the highest accuracy during regular season behind the plate in the postseason. Laz had no business calling balls and strikes this game
ump union unfortunately
#95 out of 99 umpires in accuracy this year. He shouldn't be in the league, let alone the postseason.
It’s time for our robot ump overlords to take control
Because people like Angel Hernandez will sue
I'm pretty sure they just have a conversation and say " you wanna be plate? how bout you? I'll do it... great who's got first?"
This umpire issue has to be addressed. There is no reason that some of the statistically proven worst umpires in MLB should be behind the plate of a playoff game. Let alone on the field at all
Baseball is rigged
@@MrRMT1986 "Don't Fauci my Florida." LOL love it. 👍
There was a huge game changer in the ninth that should’ve ended the top at 2-2. Instead of a strike and strikeout it was a ball. I’m not a Boston or Houston fan, but the Red Sox got screwed.
This comment could've been from any year.
Racist
Fun fact: Teddy Roosevelt was an umpire, despite being legally blind. (True story) Thus setting a precedent that continues to be seen to this day.
There’s a pun about the precedent being seen to this day but I can’t think of it right now
@@j_scumbag1762 He traded getting sworn at to being sworn in.
Seen by everyone except the Umps.
@Ll L I think he was the precedent of something
My fav UA-cam video right now no lie ua-cam.com/video/cvs9q-RAg64/v-deo.html
Laz's call accuracy that game was 88% according to UmpScorecards. Absolute joke, how the hell a guy like that is allowed to ump a pivotal postseason game is beyond me. Baseball umps need to be reorganized like Jomboy said: best guy is behind the plate, period. This is one of the few sports where AI officiating will undoubtedly work and embarrassments like Laz behind the plate isn't helping the argument at all
Jomboy brought me back to caring about MLB, but these umpires are taking me away again.
When they are out of a job, they will only have their union to blame.
Sad that good umps and future umps will not get to shine because of that
hell just introduce AI for balls and strikes and give the home plate ump a red and green light in their mask that lets them know which call to give. Still lets them feel important and they actually get to do even less work for the same pay lol
because diversity
Just make the union agree to either all replacements with AI/automation OR keep your accuracy above X percent, whatever is fair. I'd say above 95% but idk if the ai systems they have are around that or not. If they can't be as accurate or near as accurate as the AI, they get replaced with AI, on an individual basis.
Some bad umping this postseason. Balls and strikes have been especially horrendous all the way around.
final MIL - ATL game was disgusting. its been miserable seeing this many mistakes in whats supposed to be the best of the best
@@assett_png Absolutely. I'm a little biased as a Giants fan, but that Flores check swing call to end the series was inexcusable.
It's been horrendous for four years.
Every single year.
Nothing different. It's ridiculous.
Um... ok guys n gals, before you really dig in, why don't you try it yourself, it's not as easy as it looks and you better know your rules, cause while the pitcher is just in the stretch, as an ump, you got a billion things running through your head, and yet you're trying to keep your head clear for the pitch.
I've missed some and when I first started called some really bad ones, but my point remains, git out there and ump and so inkling from the sofa with your 20 different angles when we just got the one.
Rant ends.
Needless to say, I just did a highschool game last night, I know I missed 2 'high' strikes, and I called one bad outside one, on that one I was too close to the catcher and he framed it really well, but afterwards I was replaying the call abs realized it was a ball to far outside. The catcher, when he came up asked me about it abs I apologized, but once I call it, there's not much I can do about it
It's two ball widths off the plate. That's some Jr. Varsity bs.
The whole series was like that. The outside balls being called strike was extremely frustrating for the Astros fans too.
Very "liberal" strike zone as my jv coach would say lmao
No, this doesn’t offset. The correct call is clearly runners on first and second, so the attempt to catch him stealing never happens if the umpire doesn’t make a mistake on the strike call.
Exactly what I was thinking, sox would've had first and second with one out instead they got second with two outs, in other words they still got shafted
Not to mention not having an additional out.
Regardless, you need to wait for the walk signal before starting your walk. Bad calls happen all the time, yet it's still on the players to react according to the instructions if they haven't hit the ball. By that logic, any time the umpires make a bad call the players should be allowed to do whatever they think should have happened, which is just stupid.
@@sammie16508 It was a full count. No batter waits in that moment. I suppose this is the classic arguing of the letter of the law versus the spirit of the law as to the batter staying put. The issue is that the umpire was the one that screwed up though.
@@sammie16508 I dont think thats on JD. every batter in the MLB would start walking on that pitch. it was just so far down and outside that Laz Diaz is the only ump who would ever call that a strike. I agree he should've waited but you cant blame him. especially cus he was right
So many generational umpires are in the league right now, crazy man.
how is the spambot's comment older than OP's? technology is getting crazy, man
@@uberneanderthal it's that quantum computing that china has now, they can send information into the past lol
@@uberneanderthal Its not... OPs says 36 minutes ago, bot's says 35
It's why people begin to hate unions. They are fantastic but people abuse them and it also prevents losers like this from being fired.
What is your point? That the umpires tend to be older? It does take a while to become a major league umpire, and MLB umpires are almost impossible to fire unless they commit a crime.
“A hood off conversation” 😂😂😂
Laz needs his eyes checked.
If the umps can check the pitchers every inning for substances, an eye exam for umps should be a regular thing.
😂😂
Each game
Each team should have a board certified optometrist in the dugout and they can check the umpire in the middle of the game whenever they want
Exactly, MLB needs to monitor these umps, in game, and step in as necessary. Clearly Laz was not seeing things right.
Look at where he lines up in relation to the plate.
You did a great job interpretating this play.
Yes - and he included that it was low as well as outside.
I got it, Jordan.
"Interpretating".
Beauty! 🤣
Yessss! 👏👏👏
@@ronmackinnon9374 3:19
LOLOLOLOL
I like the idea at the end. Umpires should have "positions" like players do. You wouldn't put Bartolo Colon at shortstop; you don't put Laz Diaz behind the plate.
At this point, JD would probably be a better hitter if he had a worse eye.
He’s struck out so many times on balls called strikes.
Counter-intuitive...what's not to like. good take
“Everyone hates Laz” kinda describes this game overall, not just the at bat, to be honest.
I think after this post season, most baseball fans are going to be willing to give the robo-umps a shot.
We can have 100% accuracy where NOBODY has a right to complain. But nooooo. The MLB wont have it.
Every team has gotten jobbed hard in many games. Anyone who claims that the calls even out is wrong because if a single bad call costs you the World Series, then the other bad bad calls that went your way in a blowout game aren't remotely consolation!
@@FAB_GNC Ignoring that that video is from 2019... kinda obvious that robo umpiring needs to be tested and perfected for awhile. No one is advocating for it being implemented before it's MLB-ready.
You could literally implement something similar to Tennis to call balls and strikes and still have umpires to call the other parts of the game. But the truth is the purist don’t want change
@@FAB_GNC I mean, that's cool, my comment specifically said I was ignoring the year as it had little to do with my point. No one is saying deploy robo umps tomorrow, people are saying get the process officially started. And people are also saying stop having shity umpires in the playoffs, create a merit-based system until robo umping is perfected
The two wrong calls DON'T offset each other. If he calls that a ball, as he should, everone's safe. The Red Sox got done dirty in this play.
I agree. There's no interference if it's a walk. Runners on first and second.
You gotta feel for JD man dude is a helluva hitter great eye and has just been getting totally disrespected with all the pitches outside.... It's ironic too bkuz if they force pitchers to throw him that pitch inside the zone JD has the skill and power to drive those pitches a long way to the opposite field he's one of the best in baseball at going with pitches on the outer 1/3 of the plate

I was screaming at him from the grandstands. WHY MLB thinks Diaz was a good choice to be behind the plate when he was one of the worst umpires when it came to accuracy is beyond me. I remember when Marvin Hudson was behind the plate for that game 6 two years ago and his zone was horrific. Neither were as bad as Eric Gregg in 1997, but Manfred needs to make umpires accountable.
Thank you for bringing up Eric Gregg. Nothing will EVER be as bad as Eric Gregg in that Livon Hernandez game. NOTHING!!! Those balls were 18 inches outside.
Union strong
Fire the commissioner. Who cares about the battle of the cheaters?
The last time I saw so many bad calls by one ump was from the movie The Naked Gun.
Exactly what I was thinking
Laz needs a talking to about that, those pitches are way outside, he must of went to the angel hernandez school of umps
Give the man credit, if he'd gone to the Angel Hernandez school of umpires he would have thrown Cora, at least, out of the game after he complained about that call. (Maybe Baker as well).
I think the non called strike late in the game was even worse
Then went to the Joe West University of not caring about the opinions of the outraged players
I was expecting Angel Hernandez when I clicked on this vid.
I seriously feel bad for JD at this point
Yeah, especially since his weakness is pitches low and outside. When he’s bad, it’s because he’s chasing pitches right there and striking out swinging or getting way down in the count. So he’s being really good and really disciplined in not expanding the zone, yet the zone’s expanded on him anyway and he’s still striking out and getting down on those pitches.
I don’t. I don’t care that it was a ball; you can’t start walking before the call is made. He interfered with the throw.
@Rob F He thought it was a ball. The Ump called strikeout. You wait until the call. Player doesn't decide what the call is. That's just baseball.
@@mike-0451 bro if everyone in the world knows it’s a ball and it’s 100% on video fucking replay a ball there’s no way u can defend the ump on that shit.
@@kentburandt5767 I’m not. I’m just saying that JD interferes with the throw by not playing by the rules of the game.
I think in the end Laz got the Red Sox a bit more mad. Just casually showing the 9th inning 1-2 strike called a ball
Easily the worst call I’ve seen this postseason, and it gave Houston all the momentum in the world. Absolute bs
Even as a Houston fan, that was an absolutely horrible call.
Fun fact I got into baseball because of you, and today I’m trying for my first team!
Did you make it bro?
I think Maldonado didn't throw the ball because he knew it was ball 4 too and was just as surprised as JD
nah, had he followed through on that throw he could have broken his hand on the batter's helmet, he was right to pull up and not throw
man not even close to a strike 😂 Sox got the short end of the stick on that
Yup. I’m a Yankee fan and the Sox were done dirty.
"Tripp Gibson is a fantastic home plate umpire." (4:28)
Indeed he is. Fun fact, I went to umpire school with Tripp in 2006. I sat behind him in class, which meant I graded his papers most days (we passed them back to be peer graded). I remember one day on the second week I think, he missed three questions on one quiz. After we graded them, he turned back to verify that he missed three, which I confirmed. He was so upset with himself that he never missed another question. Tripp was (and presumably still is) very studious and spent a lot of time in the rulebook and was also textbook on the diamond. In my experiences with him, he was an all-around good guy that was willing to help as needed. It did not surprise me in the slightest that he reached the MLB and when I first saw him in the big leagues on TV, I remember smiling and saying to myself, "Hey, Tripp made it! Good for him."
What happened with your umpire career ?
@@JohnM-sw4sc I wasn't good enough to be placed, but I did call high school and little league for several years.
Watched him ump the Giants earlier this year. Commentators were 'an inch or two outside is ok' but he was calling 3, 4, 5 inches off the plate as strikes. So this wasn't a one-off. It's a proven umpire with a poor eye. As Jomboy says, put the best umps in their best positions. Don't just rotate every night for the sake of it, it's too important at this stage. In the NLCS game 3 there was a missed strike 3 call for Buehler which cost runs, extra pitches, and got him pulled early. LA came back to win, but the ump's blatant mistake cost 2 or 3 runs.
I mean yeah this is ridiculous, and has completely changed the tide of the series, so thanks Laz. You're the best.
The two calls don't offset, the Red Sox got the short end no matter what. If that pitch is a ball, the interference call is irrelevant as there's no longer a play to be made at second.
Yeah but that doesn’t mean the Astro’s should stop playing because the call wasn’t 100% accurate. They still need to play off what’s called. He should’ve gotten first, but he didn’t, so the astros had to play off the call. That simple. You won’t just drop everything and give up.
Thanks for the content! I watch all your videos man. Keep it up!
Something I can't understand is like, soccer/football has goal line tech, tennis has its like hawk eye system that can tell within a couple of mm if a ball was in or out, but baseball still is just like "Naw, lets just have a guy standing behind the plate make the calls." Every time I have wanted to actually get into watching baseball its ended with me watching botched calls and remembering it's a constant annoyance.
the botched calls are a feature it'd be boring without them
To see consistent zones umps have to set up in consistent spots. If you look the center bottom of his mask marks the corner of the k zone box. Other times it is completely off. Furthermore he is slightly moving with the pitch - watch the mask move with the pitch, instead of "freeze frame" eyes tracking the ball. This indicates that he isn't seeing the ball well in most cases. He won't be able to call a consistent zone if he continues to set up in different spots.
Yes his head varies slightly on different pitches but, while he had a less than great accuracy score (88%), he actually had a high consistency score (97%). Not excusing the calls but Laz's version of the zone was the same all night and that is the more traditional expectation from a plate umpire. The visual box on broadcasts has changed expectations and longer serving umpires seem less able to adapt. Some of the newer umpires have way better accuracy scores along with the consistency, and it would be nice to see them rewarded with more post-season appearances.
Wow… I mean, that pitch wasn’t even borderline and gets called. Good grief. Maybe the MLB needs to incentivize accuracy at the plate somehow because so many of the ump corps seems to be awfully inaccurate and don’t seem to give a damn. That tells me MLB doesn’t give a damn either, and if that’s true, who cares if pitchers use foreign substances or teams use trash cans to signal pitches? Much as I love the game, this is the most ridiculous aspect of it to me.
You make a really good point. Hold _everyone_ accountable. Period. Players, officials, everybody. Mistakes happen, but how much more data does the MLB need to make some changes? The longer it continues, the longer it demonstrates a lack of urgency or interest on their part in a legitimate resolution. Umps have more power to decide the outcome of games than the players do! They should be held to the highest standards.
I'm more impressed that it wasn't Angel Hernandez who did this to both teams, cause that's exactly who I expected to fuck up a call that badly
He had his turn earlier in the playoffs.
Watching that game was brutal. Every inning it seemed like somebody got screwed.The only benefit of it being so bad was that you can't really say it was favoriting one side or another, but it was still brutal to watch. You hate it when the games come down to the umps, and game 4 could have been completely different if a few calls go the way they should have.
All that being said, sox bats have been awful quiet since the 1st inning Bogey HR in game 4, which is the driving factor behind them losing these last two games. As bad as the umpiring is, if you cant hit you aren't gonna win.
Kind of hard to hit when the strike zone is a joke. A big zone like this badly hurts JD and doesn't affect free swingers (Altuvue) as much.
@@dereksbooks Oh it definitely does, but we still missed pitches middle middle, that we were hitting in game 2 and 3.
Pretty much the story for ALDS game 3 Astros got screwed out of the sweep by the umps to which caused a game 4 where Astros ace starter got injured.
@@marcoapollo2466 this entire postseason really has been a huge L for the umpires. As bad as I can remember.

As an Astros fan I have seen some calls go against the Astros.
HOWEVER, you can clearly see why the Red Sox nation is upset, especially on calls when the game is on the line. I think Laz is either anti-Boston or pro-Houston.
I'm really not used to my team getting the benefit of bad calls.
As a Sox fan, I strongly doubt that he's pro or anti anything. He is just consistently BAD all the time. Houston also got screwed on just as many calls in this game, but they just weren't as costly for them under the circumstances.
You are used to your team cheating though.
You did get the benefit of your team getting their players and world series not taken away after a massive cheating scandal though, so it will be a few more years until the Astros deserve some calls their way.

I don't understand how the best hitters Lose their eyesight and struggle telling balls and strikes before the age of 40 but umpires can still have perfect vision into their seventies.
This is genuinely baffling. We've had ball tracking technology for nearly 15 years now, why has baseball not started using it?
umpire unions
@@FAB_GNC What the mlb should do is have someone watching the game on a screen and after the pitch call it into the umpire with an ear piece. there really isnt any need for technology just have someone who will make the right call every time
They are testing it and it's not working the way they want it to.
Also when using AI tracking basically it makes the strike zone a 3D space and if the ball enters that space at any moment of the pitch it's a strike. So it's leading to insane looking pitches being called a strike. If you saw it you would think it's getting a lot of calls wrong.
@@LudaChez tennis and cricket have both got fixed and moving scrutiny zones and they've figured it out mostly. If they can't get it right in baseball they need to farm it out. Or have it used to inform a bunker umpire in the ground, rather than a single place.
@@LudaChez If it's not possible to hit a pitch that got into the strike zone, change how the strike zone is defined. Or how much of the ball has to touch it. Either way, the only way it would be inferior to these umpires would be if the software was just buggy and got it wrong constantly. There is no point in having the umpires do that anymore.

It wasn't a "pitchers duel" through most of the game. It was the damn ump calling ball as strikes. Then Houston blew it open when he decided to stop calling strikes. Eovaldi had strike 3 with 2 outs before Houston scored any runs but the ump didn't call it. Then things snowballed from there. Just as the Red Sox benefited from all the walks in games 2 & 3. Umpire inconsistency plays much too big of a role in professional baseball. It can be absurd at times.
Spectacular job on that Laz. Stellar work
Nice work !
Petition for Jomboy to be an umpire

Fantastic job
Very interesting and funny at the same time
Have a wonderful day today
the fact that they call the outside pitch a strike and he doesn’t hog the plate is crazy
It's been awhile since I've seen a home play ump that bad, this year in general it hasnt been good, but this one was particularly bad and it was in the post season.
Great review 👍
"Hey, guys, how do you like the new graduate from the Angel Hernandez and Joe West School of Umpiring?" -MLB, probably
I’m a super casual baseball fan and don’t know to much about the game, and I know that’s a ball ☠️
How can I get a job as an umpire? I am clearly qualified compared to these clowns.
Yeah, with my vision being 20/whatever, I’m thinking I could do a better job… lol
Gotta throw the ball if you want interference, that’s what I’ve always been taught.
According to the graphs, Laz Diaz missed 21 ball-strike calls that night. Any one of us fucks up that badly at our job? We don't have a job anymore.
We need the second Braves walk off breakdown, not to mention the Cody Bellinger 3 run homer!

Regarding the interference, the fielder (catcher) actually has to make the throw. You either throw it and can induce an interference, or you hold on it. There cannot be interference if there's no play.
Except that the last time Maldonado was interfered with on a throw to first, it was NOT called. Boston seems to have a habit of doing this shit
@@FAB_GNC he's right actually the cathcer has to get rid of the ball to get the call all he had to do was throw it
If the catcher has to make a throw to get the call, then the batter just has to grab him in a bear hug before he tries to throw. Interference can certainly be called without a throw being made.
@@FAB_GNC I think for the most part the umps use their judgment on intentional or unintentional interference. If its unintentional then a throw of some sort must be made to get an interference call now if the batter deliberately gets in the catchers way or bumps him then they'll call interference right than and there.
@@umpinmass not really if its clearly intentional then they'll call the runner out
“Interpretating…” Hmm… I may have learnt a new word today courtesy of Jomboy.
He's also used the non-word "improvational".
Ump (Laz) Brain: well I can't blame JD for walking towards 1st, that pitch was over the other batter's box.
I'm starting to be of the mindset that AI should be calling strikes and balls. Keep the ump there for most every other call, but a computer can quickly give a more accurate strike zone response.
Look at the rest of the inning. The two injustices of this call were not "offsetting" - obviously the Sox got the short end of this stick
Perfect video! Also look at the last inning when the astros started scoring a lot. Martín Maldonado had a 3-2 count with two outs curveball thrown top right of zone (It was inside the zone) called ball & batter got walked (start of the hitting spree) ridiculous ump calling that game 😂
Not offsetting as they would've been on 2nd anyways, but with 1st as well.
Not that I care because I'll never watch MLB again anyway, but balls and strikes should be automated calls.
Sup Brad. YEAH, I been saying this for YEARS. Umpires should NOT be calling balls and strikes. They need to go to a camera/optics system. X and Y camera's on home plate. ( And I believe games are being rigged anyway, so it's hard to trust if a game is legit/fair or not. ) Makes the whole thing a waste of time for the fans.
I’m with you man and I think it isn’t automated bc it’ll make baseball even more boring at least people talk about it when there’s an ump making awful calls
@@nemdawg6342 It's that, but also it's the umpire's union, and tradition. They don't want to change the game too much, because they know it will probably alienate many long-time fans. Fans do seem to like to argue about the games! Maybe it is fun for them to do that. I would just rather have a FAIR game.
I think Maldy held up because he also thought it was a walk.
Pissing off both teams simultaneously is like the umpire version of the triple play.
Your analysis is completely on point. So much better than the nonexistent baseball coverage ESPN spews out
Umps trying move the games along
Laz is old. He doesn't get paid OT or doesn't need it anymore.
I thought the good umps were supposed to be in the playoffs
Unfortunately, merit is NOT the sole criterion.
The fact that no one can contest or reverse an umps really bad call, is mind boggling.
You can, but not on pitches or judgment calls like interference.
Lazaro "Laz" Antonio Diaz was born in Miami, FL. and his parents are from Cuba. Díaz was one of the 22 umpires promoted to the major leagues in the wake of the Major League Umpires Association's mass-resignation strategy in July 1999. On Sunday March 7, 2010, Díaz was inducted to the Cuban Hall of Fame. Another terrible umpire from MLB is Ángel Hernández, a Cuban umpire born in La Habana, Cuba.
Honestly the worst call of the night was the "ball" to Castro that should've ended the 9th because it was clearly a strike. Instead the Astros score 7. The two worst calls of the night both shit on the Sox.
that call was the real backbreaker
Maybe the Red Sox will catch a break someday 😆
Honestly would love to see Boston lose but they clearly got more screwed on this. This is not "off-set penalties" because if the ball is properly called, there is no interference because there is no steal.
Hey Jomboy. Long time watcher, first time commenter. After watching Chris Taylor’s historical three home run night tonight, I started thinking, and was wondering if you could make a video about all the historical “firsts” that have happened in the regular season and post season so far? I seem to be sensing a trend here. Keep doing what you do, love your work.
This is by far the worst the umps have ever been. I swear that the umps are betting on games. I mean COME on!!! They are standing 5 feet from the plate and they can’t see the ball go over the plate and on TV we see it live and call it better than they do. They are compromising the integrity of this nation’s past time game.

I cannot believe that there isn’t a catcher with enough scruples to stand up, turn around and say enough is enough. When shit like this happens the teams need to protest the game and walk off the field.
There needs to be penalties given for poor umpiring and on the flip side bonuses for the best umps. This problem has to be addressed.
This one single pitch and UNREAL umpiring... I'm actually done with baseball. Nothing can save this sport. I'm literally done. I can't have faith in the sport when this continues to happen over and over and MLB refusing to put in place any safegaurds for HORRIBLE calls. Bye.
Dude. NFL has it worse. Bad calls all the damn time PLUS the flat out refusal to get the call correct after replay.
@@frighty True
The Boys in Blue are in real trouble now that their statistics are getting thrown around. We always knew their calls were subjective bullshit, now we have reportable facts and statistics. I saw one comment say robo umps would be bad for the game...would they really? Robo-Umps can process plays & calls at speeds unimaginable by the human brain with the assistance of multiple different camera angles and replay technology. Do we lose some nuances that human umps make? Sure but I would rather have a game with consistent balls & strikes than a game with inconsistent balls & strikes with the occasional fly rule being called correctly.
i mean, we need a combination of the 2 i think. Robot eyes for some things, human brains for others. Fly rule is easy to program in, not sure how easy the rule about where and how you can establish your path to first base after a hit would be to program though. Stuff like that.
You also need a factor that can keep order on the field and keep the game moving as well. I guess we can send in police during a brawl? lol
Most other things can be programmed in. We've done it on console gaming for years so i'm not a programmer but c'mon that can't be difficult for you guys to do right? Time consuming i'm sure though.
I would also be a fan of the extra camera angles we as fans would get as a result of this as well. I can see pixels being debated in the future if this occurs though :)
@@therealjoshuacaleb4873 thanks for the comment but you read a little too far into the example. I wasn't actually saying that fly outs are a consistent problem that human umps solve. It was just an example of a situation where the robot would have to do something other than call balls & strikes.
You got caught looking at every tree that you forgot you're in a forest :)
@@FAB_GNC Before I break down your comment and video, I just wanted some clarifications from you if possible.
1) You're posting this video as an example of "this is why we dont want robo umps"?
2) You understand the limitations of cherry-picking information and how that can skew opinions.
3) You understand that Trackman was created based around one specific technology and not with specific baseball stadiums and additional technology such as cameras and human umpire input.
4) You understand that technology advances at a rate drastically different than anything else on the planet.
I can poke tons of holes in that video and your argument if that is the argument and point you are making. I just don't want to assume stuff and put words in your mouth since your original comment provided very little.
@@FAB_GNC So what were you waiting for?
Angel Hernandez's Halloween costume as "Laz" is amazing. No one suspects it's him.
Such a great point about the umpires. MLB really needs to think about who they're putting out there for these games.
all the excitement in Braves and Dodgers Series and this is what he breaksdown lmao this channel is more biased than the NLCS Announcers
Lmfao. Jomboy is a Yankees fan big guy. What you expect?
As a former catcher we're taught to just throw the ball, regardless of if the batter is in the way.
Yeah technically if you don’t throw the ball it’s not interference. Your arm either has to hit the batter or the ball has to. Since Maldonado stopped it’s not interference
“off setting mads” classic line
when the red sox were pitching in the top of the 9th, there were 21 missed strikes. 21.
Scoreboard even said walk
This Jd strikeout has a lot of impact on the series too
Good thoughts there at the end.
Angel Hernandez must be upset wondering how he can upset more than 2 teams with a blown call now lol
