LoTan should have "missed" a high fast one from KC.

Ump was terrible.

It's odd that Florida got the home field ump calls last night and tonight.

If you think that umpire has anything to do with us losing that game, your just wrong. This team has no idea how to win close games.

I can say with confidence that I witnessed an abnormal amount of “balls” that were in the strike zone last night. I also witnessed an ump that was quite eager to send our batter back to the dug out by calling him out after the second strike. That’s all seen in a small amount of time that I actually watched.

 

[GhostOfJackie]

He was bad for sure, but not any worse than our situational hitting

Idk man. Allowing a 2 out rally in the top of the 9th by missing about 3 strikes that would have ended it. I would call that a factor

Maybe not but you know the guy is doing a terrible job when the commentators say something about it.

THIS.

This team certainly has more than its fair share of short-comings especially in the clutch, but that ump took over the game & made it about himself...especially in the 9th.

Both things can be true. We suck, that ump also really sucked.

Mangum would’ve teed off on some of the 1st pitch strikes that we watched go by last night..

That's when I turned the game on and what I saw was umpire not giving any part of the edge of the plate so the pitcher had no choice but to throw it over the middle of the plate while losing their cool.

The big hit for the win came after two perfectly placed strikes to the inside and outside corners. It forced KC to throw to the heart of the plate. People that think this stuff doesn't affect games don't understand the game. The umpire today was great. Called the game consistently.

But there’s no way we win that game without scoring another run, which we didn’t. and we didn’t

He effected the game, but we still would have lost. A team that can’t play through some abysmal actions behind the plate is a team who won’t be playing postseason. That’s us all day and night this season. I’m more upset about our approach at the plate the entire weekend (year really), and the two balls that dropped in left during critical times.
