Someday hopefully soon HP ump will be the easiest gig in baseball

The Astros have been the better team but that call was horrendous and there has been a lot of that behind the plate this postseason.

During the last 2 games Nats pitchers have had 3rd strikes called balls in big situations only to have the batter get a hit and continue a run scoring rally.

The Nats pitcher 2 games ago clearly knew it because he repeatedly asked the umpire, Where was that?

If he had been watching on tv he would have known, iit was right on the middle of the box that shows the strike zone.
