Well I guess he had a bad night last night. Was giving two or three balls outside the zone. Hitters forced to chase bad pitches. Wouldn't allow batters to call time and step out of the box even when pitcher was not in his windup. Roesel even questioned the reasons on that one. Definitely not sour grapes. It was a nicely played game. Connor experienced the fluctuating strike zone in the bottom of the seventh inning they were not real happy with it either. Just saying it would have been nice to see a better called game behind the plate.

I was at the game and as close to behind the plate as possible....he called a very good game, there are always some pitches that are close and could go either way.

Not sure where the "Wouldn't allow batters to call time and step out" came from as I saw Ziggy do it at least 3 times in 2 AB's and about 3 or 4 others do it throughout the game...I disagree with the Ryle batters having to chase bad pitches too..I saw 2 guys swing 2-0 when they were down 1-0 and needing base runners..not sure the umpire is to blame for that.
