We're playing awful, so not blaming the loss on the home plate umpire, but this has been some of the worst balls and strikes calls I've ever seen. I'm usually pretty flexible with officiating/umpiring, but this is truly awful

Definitely not why we are getting blown out but this zone is hilariously big. Its amazing we will review whether someone got in the way of an HBP 5 times a weekend but dont want to pursue K Zone.

We have some serious issues at the plate. We seem overwhelmed by anyone that throws strikes at this point in the season

Hard to blame the loss on the ump, that being said, the zone was comical. One strike in the 8th was in the other batters box.

Where are we on getting rid of human umpires for balls and strikes?

Isn't the technology ready?

I think they were testing it out in a minor league a couple seasons ago. I’d be surprised to see MLB adopt that anytime soon though. Just because they are MLB, no league is slower to change.
