How's about Zim being safe on the play on the 9th plus 2 strikes right in the zone on Capps in the 9th.<br /><br />When stats are examined, Desmond got an error, Zim maybe lost a hit, Capps fell behind in his count and had to change his approach.<br /><br />These consistent bad calls add up and skew stats.Steve M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-21254607420994064122010-05-29T09:10:46.562-04:002010-05-29T09:10:46.562-04:00Kevin Rusch, Section406 brings up an interesting p...Kevin Rusch, Section406 brings up an interesting point. My guess is that umpires have a bias against teams that have a history of losing. Some historical stats might be dug up in support of the hypothesis. <br /><br />However, for the current Nats, the FO sabermetricians should be put to the task of performing some data analysis. Give the Joe West Umpires Association something to think about!Dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17614998804163989623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-74788289874571457932010-05-29T08:32:00.601-04:002010-05-29T08:32:00.601-04:00Is it just me, or are the umpires missing a lot of...Is it just me, or are the umpires missing a lot of calls against the Nats?

We also overcame a rookie mistake by Ian Desmond on the attempted double play when he should have taken a sure out at first. I'm sure Ian learned a lesson and it didn't cost us the game so all's well that ends well.SonnyG10https://www.blogger.com/profile/06568010128457246433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-43461560922396246992010-05-29T02:59:21.257-04:002010-05-29T02:59:21.257-04:00good gamegood gameAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891280499735178526noreply@blogger.com
