Interesting strike zone tonight.

Glad to see many noticed the extremely tight strike zone last night especially on the inside part of the plate.   I found myself scoffing at the TV (regarding the umpires) last night and I really don't care who wins the World Series.   If I was a fan of either team, I would have lost my mind.

I'm really done with the home plate umpiring in these playoffs.  Some will argue that if every pitcher gets squeezed by the home plate umpire that is fair.  My response is no, they are to enforce the strike zone set by MLB...no inserting your own personal strike zone when you feel like it.  These umpires have been calling balls and strikes all year.  They've seen hundreds of thousands of pitches, and that is the best they got.  Pathetic.

We can't bring the robo home plate/automated strike zone umpiring system in soon enough!  JMO.
