Message: [QUOTE="NYCSUGrad, post: 1234358, member: 971"] I only watch the Mets but it's rare that a home plate umpire in the games I see varies from his strike/ball pattern. It may be a generous zone that favors the pitcher or one that favors the batter but almost invariably it's the same for both teams. If not the announcers wouldn't hesitate to call out the umps for it and it just doesn't happen on a regular basis like the bad reffing in college ball does. Do you deny that for decades Duke got blatantly favorable calls? Last season's game not withstanding, they've not been as successful with the flopping recently. Score one for the refs. Score negative for the BS we were subjected to today. They couldn't have pulled more for Nova if they had money riding on the game. [/QUOTE]
