Umpire evaluation

Recommended Posts

I read that too, a 2 inch buffer zone seems ridiculous. So his only missed call was the one that was an MLB leading 6.5 inches off the plate to Segura. I can understand a buffer zone but it should be half an inch at most in my opinion. The plate is 17 inches wide and the umps are getting 2 extra inches or 4 total inches to call a strike. That's just stupid. No wonder guys get rung up so often on pitches off the plate, umps know as long as it's within 2 inches it's better to error on the side of a strike off the plate than a ball on the plate. Also those outs end games faster and get their job done faster. And because of this ridiculous 2 inches of buffer, Angel Hernandez gets a 96% grade from MLB on a game that he clearly called like absolute trash. And everyone sits here wondering why mlb umps never get fired, their grading system has them thinking they are good at what they do even when they actually suck at what they do...

Is there a buffer for balls too?  If so, can an umpire screw up and call every pitch 2 inches inside the plate a ball and every pitch 2 inches off a strike and then receive a 100% from mlb despite calling what would probably be the worst called game in mlb history?

Remember what Yoda said:
