In response to "I need to see what he called balls. I see 8 missed vs the Sox, 2 vs the Indians but he was missing wide on both." by Will Hunting

Some context

1. At least one of the wide calls on the Indians came after our manager and shortstop were thrown out of the game *from the dugout* *in the 10th inning* after Hernandez refused to yield to the 1st base ump on a check swing on a full count despite the Indians asking for it.

2. One of the high calls on the White Sox was ridiculous. Those boxes are set for the average MLBer. That high call was on 5'6" Nick Madrigal. It was chin level on him.

3. The outside ones were largely straight lower 90s fastballs. Not cutters or sliders that went off the corner, just fastballs. The fastest I saw was 94. If a MLB ump can't see that a straight fastball isn't in the opposing batter's box he shouldn't have a job.
