I tuned in to watch Jose Berrios pitch last night.  I thought Jerry Layne had a horrific game last night.  He must have had at least 10 ball and strike calls incorrect.  Both Berrios and Dallas Keuchel were unhappy with the strike zone.  And of course Murphy was ejected over this.  

 

Is there a website that grades umpires in this regard?  What does MLB do about this?  There doesn't seem to be anything that happens to umpires that really screw-up.  What does he/MLB do to improve the situation/effectiveness between now and the next games Jerry Layne calls?

The part I didn't like was him leaning over and getting right in Murphy's face.

Umps are going to have a bad night, it's always happened and always will until we get robots to make the calls.

 

We don't know what Murphy said, perhaps it was really, really bad, but you'd like to think Layne would have kept his cool. In the umpire/player relationship, the umpire is supposed to be the adult.

 

 

I think I know what Murphy said.
