Yesterday's umpire scorecard was pretty much what you would have expected from watching the game. He was terrible.
I don't think managers can stress the importance of saving challenges for later in the game enough. Of course, you never know, that first inning might be the pivotal moment of the ball game. But, perhaps the manager could suggest to the catches that, especially early, don't challenge unless it is a very obvious missed call, on say a ball four call, if the bases are already loaded. Say a pitch right down the middle called a ball. Any pitch towards the edge of zone, suck it up.
Anyway, here it is. I don't know what the level of ******* piness should lead to an umpire being fired immediately after a game should be, but this is, at very least close.
The umpire was that bad and yet the teams were only 1 for 4 on challenges.
The problem with being that bad is that you are likely to be ummmm more bad towards one team and that was us last night.
