Tightest Strike Zone Ever?

Not to :beatdeadhorse: but honestly, that was the tightest strike zone I have ever seen last night. It was fairly consistent other than a few (both ways), but god dang that was one tight strike zone. It had way too much influence on the game imo. Question, does the same crew work the rest of the games for the regional or do we get a different one? I know they will likely change up the home plate ump regardless.

From other things I've read that umpire is a big fan of balls so that may have had something to do with it.

Did you see the mention that the umps were spotted getting drunk together at their hotel till 3:30am Friday night/Saturday morning?

I'd love to see that ump call vandy's closer.

Not from what I saw. The ump wasn't giving Nola the low strikes, but he was giving the same pitches to the other guy.

Tightest strike zone ever, worst color commentator ever, weakest regional ever....
Sure were a lot of historical firsts!

I've been thinking about this quite a bit today. It wasn't Nola's fault.
He's been lights out all season. Suddenly he comes up against an umpire that doesn't give him the corners like he has gotten all season. Only a perfect down-the-middle pitch will do.
So he presses, aims for the tiny strike zone. Of course, the batters can find a perfect down-the-middle pitch. They were smoking them, which led to multiple errors in the field, uncharacteristic for this team.
So it was the perfect storm of crap, perpetrated by the terrible ump. It's a credit to Nola that he figured out how to pitch around that awful strike zone.
