REDS JULY GAMES THREAD

[*bengalfan74*]

I try to not nitpick ball and strike calls to much. But it really seemed slanted in much of the first few innings of the game last night. That pitch India got called out looking on in 1st at bat was 4 or 5 inches off the plate outside. How does a major league ump miss that bad ?

But the bad thing Mahle wasn't getting those same calls ! The Cubs guy was getting away with murder, 3 or 4 off the plate pitches outside called strikes. And 2 or 3 of Mahle's pitches actually touched the edge of plate - Ball

And there have been several instances of ump's having a moving, large strike zones are the new norm in baseball and not just against the Reds.

Seems like the level of skill ? of these newer umps is slipping pretty bad.
