Actual Evidence That The Umpires Are Screwing Up

(And more fuel to believe that they are openly rigging the MLB playoffs as we speak.)

Five Thirty-Eight's ESPN sports section has an article today by Rob Arthur which has confirmed basically what most Dodgers fans have been screaming for three years running now on Clayton Kershaw:  The umps are screwing up the strike zone.

But what the article is saying is that it is no more prevalent than in the regular season:  That one pitch out of every ten will be mis-called.

That's nice...  Tell that to the Yankees, who got jobbed half a dozen or more times that ESPN showed the pitches to be low and out of the zone (and, yes, even with their three-dimensional home plate -- the pitches were still low!).

Tell that to Clayton Kershaw, who is three years running now getting completely fucked without lube by the umpires in the playoffs, leading smack-talkers to wonder about his legitimacy.

The fact is simple:  If you can only count on a 90% accuracy rate on key calls, you then have to ask the real question about why the calls are being *cough* "missed"...

A baseball historian has a bad feeling a movie reference may be about to come true...
