I wondered what happened on that play. I caught the end where Gomes told the ump, "I'm sorry." or some such thing. I believe Smoltz talked about it a bit.
Wait, the ump was caught saying to Gomes that he got up too quickly and showed him up???? He needs to be removed from this umpiring crew, that’s disgraceful!!!
Gomes said: "oh so it's my fault?"
Robles earned 1B and the chance to see what Gomes would do. I want fairness across the board. I hate bad calls that favor my team. I want the skill of the players to decide who is the better team and who deserves to be crowned champion.
Umpire Auditor @UmpireAuditor #WorldSeries Game 5 Umpire ReportName: Lance BarksdaleCorrect Call Rate: 93.5%Calls helping #Nationals: 4Calls helping #Astros: 5Largest miss: 3.23 inchesThe rate doesn't tell the whole story. Barksdale gifted Correa a ball on an 0-2 count. A K turned into a 2 run HR.https://twitter.com/UmpireAuditor/status/1188890126539059204
It was pointed out that Hudson got a gift strike the very next inning after the umpire kermitted Robles. That only serves to give the impression that the bad calls were evenly distributed. It's the umpire's version of MSP
Should I know what MSP is? An advanced metric? Something snarky?
Meaningless Stat Padding...Hitting a solo home run in the 8th when trailing by 7...that sort of thing...
It was coined by spider.
actually it was first used by one of the imbeciles that hates Rendon (I forgot his screen name and I believe he stopped posting a couple of months ago). I just used the initials and added
"garbage time" has been around since the days of sportsfan. Didn't he used to accuse Dunn of that?
Zimmerman got a close ball 4 call when he didn't dart towards first and instead waited for the call. Robles got a horrible strike 3 call when he took off towards first. Ump doesn't like being shown up.
So the ump is going to decide a WS game based on his ego? Another reason for egoless robo-umps."We wuz robbed."
