What Bad Umpiring Looks Like | Baseball Bits

Umpire Angel Hernandez is probably the most infamous at the moment, but do you know Pat Hoberg? John Libka? Alan Porter? They're gonna be umpiring the strike zone for a lot longer than Angel Hernandez, Laz Diaz, or CB Bucknor. In this episode of Baseball Bits, a Foolish Baseball production, there will be plenty of time to look at some MLB worst calls and MLB best calls, especially with regards to the MLB strike zone. But we'll also dig deeper on the subject of Robo-umps, the Automated Ball Strike System that may soon replace human strike zone callers. UmpScoreCards is a fairly new, public-facing way to grade umpires, and we'll be leaning on their work heavily to find the truth. Does MLB have an umpire problem? Kyle Schwarber seems to think so. But maybe it's the K-Zone that has us fooled. _______________________________________ UmpScoreCards: https://www.umpscorecards.com/ UmpScores: https://www.umpscores.com/ Hardball Times on QuesTec: https://tht.fangraphs.com/tht-live/does_questec_affect_the_strike_zone/ Barry Bonds on QuestTec: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2003-06-11-0306120051-story.html
