re: let's recognize how great the home plate umpire was last night

Didn't notice him. All was well.

I definitely noticed him. I think he did an incredible job, especially considering the garbage we've seen so far. His strike zone was a bit wide, but he was consistent and made the calls immediately. Not like that pos from Monday who was all over the place and would almost wait for everyone's reaction before making the call.

eta: Agree with the above posts too. It is refreshing to hear the ump on mic saying where the pitches miss and what he saw. He even talked with one of the Tennessee batters after a questionable strikeout telling him what he saw. Versus, getting in the batter's face for daring to question him.
