Jason yesterday, Rich today...

I wonder if this umpire crew has a particularly small and/or inconsistent strike zone.

(FWIW, IMO, this is the worst crew in MLB. The Tschida crew is the best. It figures that MLB would send its worst crew to work a series with huge playoff implications…)

I know that MLB players rated CB Bucknor "worst umpire" a few years ago

It was an anonymous survey by Sports Illustrated, I think… he’s the 2B ump today.

How can any crew with CB Bucknor and Joe West on it even be considered passable?

Rapuano is the only good ump in the crew. Having a CC as bad as Joe West guarantees a bad crew.

Not Wild

Obviously 5 walks through 4+ isn’t good, but it seems to me that he isn’t wild by any means, just barely missing his spots…trying to be just a little TOO fine.

Looks like he's not getting the movement he's expecting

Hope he doesn’t overthrow to compensate.

DeRosa's value is linked to his versatility.

If he was just a RF, or just a 2B, he’d be less valuable to the team. He just needs to make that play. He’s done it a million times.

We were talking about the first run of the game.

The discussion started when the score was 2-2. The first run refers to the first inning.
