Long-term readers will remember that, a few years back, we used to have a feature where we looked at the worst umpire calls of the week. This came thanks to a Twitter account which used Pitch f/x data to determine how location matched up against an actual strike zone. Sadly, the account in question went silent. But thanks to a Shelley Duncan retweet, the @UmpScorecards account was brought to my attention, just in time for Opening Week. I think it will provide an adequate replacement. So you understand what’s going on, let’s break down their card for the D-backs first game of the year, and talk about what it shows.
