Yep, Braves gonna have to overcome the umps and Morton being out to take this thing.
HA. Bobby would of been thrown out of the game after the Duvall strikeout for sure.

I am not usually one to believe in the "record that will never be broken," but I think Charlie's record of 16 pitches on a broken leg just might stand.

It's fun when the data backs up our kneejerk fanboy rage.

I don't think it is a question of competence. I think it is a question of larger market bias. Teams in larger markets get the close calls and larger zone overall, especially in a home game. It helps with TV ratings.

Snit should print this off and hand it in with the lineup card.

Interesting how 8 missed calls can result in 1.6 runs.
Can someone explain the math behind this? I know pitch framing is a immensely valuable skill but 1.6 runs in a single game seems… a lot?
Well the call in the bottom of the 9th turned a 1 out nobody in situation into a 1 on nobody out situation.
You can look up the expected runs scored in those 2 scenarios, and I bet the difference is close to 1 run just on that call alone.

They're using run expectancy instead of actual runs, so it's probably a good idea to view the precise runs calculation with a little skepticism. So, for example, the number one missed call single-handedly converted a bases empty, one out situation into a runner on first and no outs. The difference in run expectancy between those two situations is pretty significant -- probably something like half a run or so, maybe more (I could Google this, but...eh). The second missed call turned what should have been a one out, runner on first situation into two outs with no one on base, which, again, is not a small difference.
Maybe not the latest numbers, but this is a good example.

Run expectancy of 1 on and 0 outs is .859 runs.
Run expectancy of 0 on and 1 out is .254 runs.
So it wasn’t a full run, but that single wrong call cost the Braves an expected .6 runs.

Probably has some relation to the circumstances of the game. A walk on a blown strike call with two outs and the bases loaded is going to have more effect than the same pitch with two outs, bases empty.
