The Yankees got completely screwed by home plate umpire Mark Carlson yet again, and the Rays immediately capitalized.
All Yankees fans want is for a little fair and balanced competition. That’s all. Same umpire behind the same plate calling the same things for both sides.
Unfortunately, what they got in Game 2 was one of the least predictable zones in the history of zones from CB Bucknor, who called the contest like he had a flight to catch, and also had never seen or heard of the “strike zone” before, and also chose not to open his eyes.
