When the batter is walking to the dugout and has to stop, and walk back. That’s pretty awful lol
You know it’s bad when the hitter tries going back to the dugout
Man it would be funny as hell if one day one of these atrocious calls appears and the pitcher and catcher walk to the dugout and the rest of the team follows
I don’t get it. 🤔
@@Racer997 He's saying it would be funny if everyone ignored the terrible call and left the field like the inning was over.
There is no doubt the umps missed these, but there is also no doubt that framing has a good and bad effect on some calls.
The fact that framing impacts how balls and strikes are called only makes it more imperative that the job be taken over by robots. The skill of framing is (by its very nature) intended to trick an umpire into calling a strike on a pitch that is not a strike. Robots would have no such weakness, and thus this unsportsmanlike "skill" can disappear as it deserves to.
@@debestcanadianI can’t even begin to talk about how bad that take is
@@gradyjones7017 Why? How has framing made the game of baseball better? Its purpose is to make umpires worse (manipulating umpires into calling strikes on pitches that objectively are not in the strike zone). It obviously works since every catcher does it now. Competent robot umps would ignore such attempts at manipulation (they would judge the pitch entirely on where the pitch crossed the plate), and as such there would be no need for this "skill" any longer.
@@debestcanadian I don’t know why you put “skill” in quotes, since it is a skill. The reason I think we should keep it is because it makes catchers more important and valuable
@gradyjones7017 I put "skill" in quotes because while the ability to frame pitches is certainly valuable now (when there are fallible human umpires), it is an utterly useless skill if the job of calling balls and strikes is given to a robot who only cares if the ball actually crosses the plate within the strike zone or not. Yes, in today's game, a catcher who frames well is important. My point is that framing would NOT be important at all if only balls and strikes could be called in an objectively accurate (or, at minimum, consistent) way. Robots can do this. Humans cannot.
The only way those misses would make sense is if it were Angle Hernandez behind the dish.
Angel must have opened a school on how to be a terrible umpire.
I'm ready for the robot umpire on balls and strikes.
It’s atrocious watching both batter and pitcher walking off knowing the call, but the ump calls a ball.
This is why I’m in favor of computer strike zones. It will get hitters swinging more as well.
My favourite ones are the ball fours where even the hitters' body language is like, "...huh, really? I'll take the walk, but yeah, that was a strike."
Okay 1:55 was a ball. It’s about where it crosses not where it is caught by the catcher. As it showed in the graphic.
Yeah... the one correct call in this video though. There were a few low 4sfb I can give the ump a break for, but why do they insist that they are able to call the game perfectly, or at least better than the ball tracker can, when countless times in the past they have ruined games and seasons for pitchers because they refuse to admit they are human. Like, do they even give eye exams to these tenior veteran umpires? Not to hate, but it is just blatantly bad for the sport to not utilize the tools we have to make it so these athletes don't train as hard as they do, come out and put on 100+ performances a year, only to have some senior citizens behind the plate waste their efforts by making bad calls. I'm not saying get rid of the umps, but for God's sake, if you're gonna put a damn clock on the pitcher, at least let his good pitches count
Now you see why they want to try the robot umpires, teams are getting tired of the umpires determining the outcome of the game
0:57
Batter:I'm done or not
1:27
I guess I'll go to first
0:56 when the batter shows he disagrees 😂
The killer is that most of these missed calls are with 2 strikes, and thus, should have been strikeouts.
When the announcer goes, "Ummmmm", you know the umpire missed it.
This is why we need robo umps
Exactly
This is why catchers need to stop framing every pitch that’s on the corners by bringing their gloves to the middle of the plate.
On a number of blown calls, I saw the catchers move their gloves from the bottom of the strike zone up what seemed like a good foot, and in some cases from the knees to the waist of the batter. Not a justification for blowing a strike call on a pitch in the zone but catchers SOMETIMES do contribute to the outcome of a pitch and not in right manner.
Catchers standing up for pitchers. Relievers coming up big in clutch situations.
catcher shouldnt bring the ball 2 feet away from where he caught it tho
it’s called framing
@@CallMeOpia i mean out of the zone, thats the point
The fact that this is an 8 and a half minute video shows how bad the umps were this year
not really - there is over 200 pitches per games - they play 162 games and there is 30 teams - 4860 games per season - thats more than 1 million pitches per season - so im not really surprised there is a 8 minutes video - but yeah mlb ump are very bad - you can blame catchers on some of those pitches - they didnt frames them well
Watching this I have concluded that we need shorter umps. Only reason their missing most of those calls is because their up their.
If the umpires would set up where the strike zone is, instead of a foot to o e side or the other, they MIGHT see where the ball is going over the plate. And if the catchers would stop framing the pitch, moving their glove so drastically, the calls MAY BE different.
I wonder when the justice department will get involved with the umpires fixing the games
I said to my son this season that I think this was one of the worst years for umpires missing calls that I can remember. It’s almost like it’s on purpose sometimes
Robo umps ? So smart…. Who’s gonna watch a bunch of umpires with no emotion? Who is Boone gonna mock at homeplate? The robot? Stawp it
Some of these are absolute shockers, right down the middle, couldn't be more a strike if they walked up and put it in the zone.
Some of these I can understand from the angle that a plate umpire has to view the game from, it's not straight on so there's going to be error in what he thinks he sees.
And then there's the one around 1:55..... which is even a ball on the pitch tracker..... why exactly was that one in here?
Why don’t umpires go and tour during player’s mandatory training so they can understand players arm angles, release points, catchers stance so they can limit these horrible calls
1:04 was a almost perfect strike
When the batter, catcher and pitcher agree on something, someone f*kd up!
and when the umps are replaced by a computor they will be looking around stupidly wondering why
I think when catchers frame good pitches and move their glove to the center of the plate it works against the pitcher. Lots of these pitches are breaking but in the zone, but the catchers always try to bring their gloves to the center as if they're trying to fool the ump even though it's a strike.
Some of these are awful framing by the catcher, but yeah you shouldn't miss a fastball down the middle
I wonder how much of the call is influenced by the catcher "framing" the pitch by 6+ inches.
Lots of bad calls from the umps here, but these also make me notice how inconsistent the TV strike zones are from broadcast to broadcast. Everything from long rectangles to straight-up squares. I wonder if they forget to reset them for taller/shorter batters sometimes.
Thank you! I was thinking the same exact thing after watching several well below the knees that were “in the strike zone”
Some of those were absolute meatballs how many homers were left on the table. This is why hitters strike themselves out looking at close pitches with 2 strikes I don’t get it.
0:05
This is the 2nd time I’ve seen this happen. 1st time I saw it was with the rangers about to win game 6 of the 2011 World Series.
Using computers to make the calls in way overdue.
Enough already, robo umps. Sooner rather than later.
For some reason a lot of them were against the A's. Maybe thats why they did so bad this season.
There should be an instant reply challenge on balls and strikes. I really don't want to see balls and strikes being called by algorithms.
It is going both ways. Greg Maddux got a wide strike zone. I have seen some bad calls going the other way as well.
Umpires should be tested for alcohol and drugs before every game
Like half of them were actually Angel Hernandez
Doing their very best to expedite K-Zone taking over balls and strikes.
Very selfless of them.
1:58 was not a strike.
Angel Hernandez is Vegas's golden child, bought and paid for
He should never ump another game. They were going to fire him and he threatened to sue MLB, I say let him sue, go to court and show how bad he is, the jury will laugh him out of court. He is nothing but an ego trip and to be honest I am kinda shocked that someone has not leveled him for how bad he calls games and impacts the outcomes.
The pitch at 1:57 is EXACTLY WHY you cannot judge balls / strikes with the box they use on the TV. Look at it compared to the hitter. The box LITERALLY barely reaches his waist! And the pitch is outside of the box. But that is a strike all day every day. Then, look at 2:39. Freeze the video as the ball is just in front of the plate you will see it already below the box (Im not talking about when catcher catches it - Freeze frame BEFORE the ball gets to the plate). Look at where the computer says it was. Not even close to where the computer has it crossing at any point. Ive been umping over 25 yrs and worked thru Div 1 college in my early years and as a job I am a pro hitting instructor. The MLB is the ONLY pro league that seems to sabotage it's own product by allowing these stations to use that box graphic! SO many people judge pitches based on it and it is wrong so often! IN / OUT it is pretty spot on bc the plate stays same spot. But hitters heights and set ups are not properly calculated. Remember the zone is set as the hitter gets ready and the pitcher begins his motion - NOT after the hitter strides! AND, a hitter can change his set up every pitch yet the box never changes! Also, this box ONLY recognizes where the ball crosses the front of the plate! But the zone is 3D and the entire plate counts! Nice video tho one of the better I have seen!
0:00 was awful call, who was behind the dish? Was it Angel Hernandez?
How about we base an umpires paycheck on performance? I know there is no union that would allow such a thing. And there can be some lenience so long as the missed calls are consistent. The problem with a lot of umpires is they are just not consistent. A pitcher could throw the same pitch to the same spot 4 times, and too many umpires will have a 2-2 count...
They look like Angel Hernandez taught them the strike zone. That is why Hernandez will never umpire a world series, he is a bum
Alot of these catchers need to learn how to frame pitches
For Phillies Angel Hernandez
seems like about half of these are on 0-2 counts.
Is this the film Angel Hernandez studies in the off-season?
Judge them off their bad ones but give them some credit. Lots of good umps making good calls. I mean, imagine calling a 98% perfect game but everyone talks about 2%. Not Angel though
I love when Umpires make the right call, Pat ‘GOAT’berg’s perfect game in the World Series was one of the greatest moments in modern day Baseball
Not sure why there’s still an umpire in baseball.
At this point, what is the argument against computer strike zones? Other than tradition. Seriously?
replace umps with electronics
All of of these are with 2 strikes
Many of these are on the edge of the zone and the catcher ‘frames’ it by moving his glove 6-12 inches. Maybe the umps are just tired of them doing this. I know as an ump, I tell the catchers if they move their glove that much, I know they think it’s a ball, so that’s what I’m going to call. The art of framing has been lost, now it’s just blatant trying to cheat to get the call
Some of these do have unnecessary glove movement. All of them have the umpires out of position setting up on the inside. Quit looking at the cather and setup in the middle of the dang plate.
I feel some of these catchers are “over framing” the ball. No reason to raise the glove a full foot after catching the ball. It might throw the ump off. That being said, it’s still no excuse for some of these atrocious calls.
Yup exactly.
Joe West and Angel Hernandez Highlight Reel
How many of these belong to angel hernandez
How about showing the umpires name
How about these catchers learn how to frame a pitch..........
All I can say is Angel Hernandez syndrome.
Takes a lot of talent to point out the errors of others.
Edgy.
Are you bitter at all about the Rangers sweeping?
Apologies, I thought I responded. Nope!
Who cares
umpires are overpaid
