You also missed how badly the pitcher missed his spot and the catcher missed the framing. It’s amazing how you use this graphic solely against the yanks for the Sox

Did it cross the plate in the strike zone? Then it should be called a strike.

No MLB rules say if the Rays are playing, every one of their pitches is a ball.

Yes, because human beings are perfect.

This is a silly argument. The point of watching professional sports is to see the skilled athletes perform at the highest level. The pitcher—who is one of the people we want to watch—did his job well, and the umpire—who no one wants to watch—ruined it by doing his job poorly. This is a bad thing.

Human error is part of baseball and always has been. As for your assertion the pitcher did his job well, he didn’t. He missed his spot by the entire width of the plate. This caused the catcher to also perform his job poorly with a bad framing. Hit your spot, get the strike. Baseball 101.

“Umpires have always occasionally ruined the performances of the athletes we’re there to see, and we shouldn’t do anything about it” is simply not a take I can support, but you do you.

“I don’t understand baseball, so I resort to deflection” is simply not a take I can support, but you don’t.
