Giants eliminated on human error. Cool! Inconsistency makes the game great, right?

shimmy Haribo fan.

If you look at 1 error in isolation maybe it seems that way

Because it ended a season and furthers the narrative I agree with which is the implementation of robot umps.

For balls and strikes it should happen sooner than later

That’s the problem with baseball though, it’s gone too far down the science route

There is enough randomness and luck when you manage to strike a ball with a bat that we don't need additional randomness

I think it’s cool how data science has allowed us to better understand the game

It’s fun until a computer could make every decision for you. At that point, additional luck or unpredictability needs to

4 called 3rd strikes in the last 2 innings were bad calls

Giving up a 3 run homer on Friday in the last inning sealed their fate

Even if that’s called a ball it’s a 1-2 count, and they’re still down by 1 run.

What about the other 3 in the 8th?

Strike 2 was a ball as well.

A couple of Padres were called out on bad ball-strike calls, too
