Series Thoughts
Season Summary: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0An-w9dFaRvtmdERyaVpYYU1PNWNaWUpkc21yYXNDM2c#gid=0
I wasn't thrilled with the strikezones this weekend, although the most egregious umpiring mistakes were not involving called pitches. Not a single game broke a 90% correct call rate for the Rzone and that's the first series for which that can be said since the trip to Minnesota in a month ago. I didn't think they were horrendously favoring one team or the other, with the Orioles actually having a slight edge with 39 calls in their favor to Boston's 34 for the Rzone, but the inconsistency was frustrating. The Red Sox fared better with the Tzone with 55 calls in Boston's favor and 42 for Baltimore.
On another continuing topic, Taylor Teagarden caught Saturday's game. His ball-called-strike rate for the Rzone was 22.00%, well above the umpire's average for the game. For the other three games, Matt Wieters had rates of 7.81%, 10.71%, and 4.44%, all below the umpire's average for each respective game. Teagarden's borderline strike rate was 68.42% compared to 56.76% for the game. Wieters' borderline strike rates were 46.67%, 46.15%, and 34.78% with the umpire calling 41.94%, 55.56%, and 34.29%, respectively.
Game breakdowns are after the jump.
