I was screaming it all damn night. I was kind of shocked they didn't mention it at all on the broadcast, but the zone was like 20% larger for Houston than us once we got up. Not sure if there has been any discussion of it elsewhere, but thought it was wild how skewed it was. We basically were given nothing on the bottom or either side of the plate that I can recall offhand... couple of pitches up at the top of the zone I think we had called strikes that were close, but the differential was probably +15ish generous strikes at a minimum for Houston.

ETA: If I understood the officiating press release, sounds like Ron Kulpa behind the plate tonight, so get ready for some potential excitement there.

Ump Scorecards brought the proof of how hard the Umps were fricking us last night.

Umpiring advantage of 1.62 runs going in the Astros favor last night. The Braves have been getting shitty calls all post-season, especially against the Dodgers, but that is the highest run advantage from umpiring that I've seen in this post-season thus far.

Keep playing like we currently are, and let the umps work their way back to a more standard run advantage range, and the Braves might do something neat.
