Right up until Choi that is.
This ump obviously favours the outside strike. I wouldnt even come close to the inner half with this clown behind the plate.
Yeah, though its hard to know how much is the umps influence with Bo. He's never met a pitch he doesn't want to swing at.
Edit, after seeing that call to Teo... i now know the answer.
WTF is wrong with this crew?
Bit of a slump latelyy, still a 120 wRC+ for September.
McGuire's wRC+ For september is -10.
However, overall this season he is league average against RHP, so it's not super egregious.
I dont know why they wouldnt just through a breaking ball or something. At least make it look unintentional and it just "slipped". Or throw behind him. Dont be one of those clows who takes 3 pitches to hit a guy with a fastball.
Objectively, the way he's been hitting this season it's actually better if the Jays don't hit him and actually pitch to him. That would hurt the Rays more.
He was actually worse than Kulpa. He had 92% accuracy outside the zone and 90% inside. West was 91% outside, 89% inside. And both games, the 6 calls that were blown that made the most impact were all against the Jays.
Just insane how bad those two have been the last 2 nights.
Maybe as bad as Dan Iassogna's in the NY/Texas game the other night. He was only 80% accurate on pitches in the strike zone, and 90% on the balls outside the zone. It was garbo
Richards can’t get a strike call unless it’s down the middle I guess. Granted he’s been a bit widld, but when the ump is telling you that you have to throw meatballs it’s probably a bit unnerving
