Levon Hernandez struck out 15 batters in this game, at least in part because the strike zone was the most ridiculous thing that there has ever been.

This is the only baseball game I have ever seen, right?

Ever.

Because players are fairly consistent when they say, I don't mind an umpire who is calling a very lenient strike zone.

I just want to know that he's going to consistently do that over the course of a game.

gave the same strike zone to Levon Hernandez that he did to Greg Maddux, but resourceful Levon Hernandez, who came from Cuba, realized in the first inning, wait a minute, he's going to give me a strike in the opposite batter's box every time, and he just started throwing all of his pitches in the opposite batter's box.

And Eric Gregg, you would say this is the worst umpired game that you've ever seen, correct, David?

It has to be.

There's never been a worse one.

It was a World Series.

No, it wasn't the World Series.

It was against the Atlanta Braves, but it was in the playoffs to get to them.

No, but Eric Gregg is forever associated, his name is forever associated with that poorly umpired game.

I'm saying not within baseball, that's all.

Okay, Angel Hernandez was worse as an umpire career, lifetime body of work.

Angel Hernandez, congratulations.

Well, it does matter in that Angel Hernandez is forever known as a bad umpire, but I've never seen a worse umpire than the one in this game.

It was nine innings of moments.

It was 15 strikeouts.

Those are 15 moments at the very least.
