Great example was last night/this mornings A's/Red1918Sux game. I have never in my life seen umping that terrible. Well, I lie, but it's been awhile.
The strikezone was just bizarre. Pitches down the middle of the plate were balls. Then they were strikes. Then balls again. An inch to the outside of the plate was a ball, but 2 inches out was a strike. Then later the inch away was a strike, but then later again it was a ball. A pitch mid thigh was a ball, while belt buckle was a strike. Then later both were balls, then later both were strikes. Call just a consistant zone! No matter how bad it is, just be consistant.
It was just terrible, I was so angry the outcome of the game was going to rest on bad umping rather than the players on the field. I didn't want my Chokeland to lose by one of the dozen horrible umping calls, and I didn't want them to win by one either.
Someone needs to be accountable for this.

Couldn't agree more Riz, the umpiring behind the plate was the worst I've seen in a long time, maybe ever.
How the hell did an asshat like that get a playoff game?
