Looked good to me
I thought so too. It is where the ball is when it crosses the plate and not where the catcher catches it. Without seeing it from above it is not easy to know if it clipped the plate as it was tailing.
Agree. It tailed a bit inside as it crossed the plate, but I don't think it was an egregiously bad strike call. I've seen plenty of pitch calls much worse than that from male umpires. Everyone needs to relax.
If it was supposed to be inside the box, it looks like it did, in a slicing move
Strike !
The player didn’t like the call ? Too bad. The ump and the ball/strike call has always been a fudge factor in the game.
Woman ump ? Meh, at least it isn’t a trans ump. I shouldn’t give them ideas.
I no longer follow the game , but I recall that some umps, earned reputations, not always good, as being blind, crooked , cross eyed , myopic, slobs, bums, etc. I see that the tradition of trashing the ump is still alive.
They’ll probably raise prices for the scout seats (behind home plate).
