Umpires have come under scrutiny lately for some suspect calls in the early stages of the 2015 playoffs, most notably in Game 2 of the NLDS. The Dodgers beat the Mets in great part due to Chase Utley being ruled safe at second base on review of a play where he also broke Ruben Tejada's leg. Had that call not been made, the Mets might already be sitting at home waiting for the Cubs to arrive for the NLCS rather than flying to Los Angeles for a do-or-die Game 5 on the road against Cy Young candidate Zack Greinke.
