I kinda like that this ump went WAY OUT and circled around the C to show that he gave time. I feel like a lot of them don't make it super obvious to pitchers who are in the zone.

Poor Kevlar has to attend every single world series game. What a bummer for him to experience so much baseball.

I'll take the gimmick infield hit, but I hope someone in the dugout saw the fouled off high pitch and tells Baez to take a deep breath.

I feel like he is a spasm artist that this ump has turned into a framing artist. Which is weird.

Contreras was apparently one of the best pitch framers in baseball this year. Granted he also has a tendency to throw away what would otherwise be called strikes by popping straight out of the box and firing to first on a pick-off attempt so he's a bit rough around the edges.

That is hilarious. I never keep tabs on catchers framing metrics throughout the year and I think I need to start. Contreras does not pass the eye test, except for the results today hahaha

I love that in that matchup clip Hendricks looks down for a few seconds to show us what he is really like...only to realize he is just filming a promo and hurriedly looks up. Amazing.
