Game ends on a horrible strikeout call from 1st base.

Never seen a game in my life with one team getting more balls off the plate while the other team got zilch.

Ah, I hate the Giants so I don’t care but that last call was bad. Crap way to end the game. I’m sure LA was going to win anyway but that’s such a crap way to go.

It would be easier to go with robots behind home plate.

Sometimes an ump has a strikezone that is a little wide or narrow but when one team in key spots gets pitches 3 inches off the plate and the other team gets nothing outside the zone then it's a little obvious.

I am not a fan of either team and actually like the Dodgers, but I wanted a great game like that one to be called by competent umps. That ump should never be trusted to work a big game again, ever.

Giants-Dodgers: Umpire blows two calls against Kris Bryant in key spot

The Giants were hurt by not one, but two terrible strike calls in the bottom of the fourth inning of Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday night.

After Brandon Crawford led off the inning with a single to left off Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias, Kris Bryant came to the plate and worked a 2-0.

The next pitch clearly was a ball, but instead of a 3-0 count, home plate umpire Doug Eddings called a strike. That was the first one.

Pitch four was correctly ruled a ball. Bryant should have been making his way to first. Then, in a 3-1 count, Eddings blew it once again. Another obvious ball was ruled a strike, creating a full count.

That people make fun of what the original poster said shows how foolish most people are. I will never believe that Higgins didn't take money for the North Carolina game or had orders.

Good. They're the only team I can stomach that is left in the playoffs.

That home plate ump DEFINITELY expanded the zone for LA and called it differently for SF. No question about it.
