No wonder he fanned 15 xD look at that zone
While many I disagree with some of those called strikes looked a little reasonable. The last one is the worst I ever seen
FUCK THIS FAT FUCK! I'm glad that he's FUCKING DEAD! FAT FUCK was in such a hurry to make the all you can eat buffet that ended at 9pm at Hometown Buffet! Some of those calls were a joke! I could pitch in MLB if I had Eric FAT FUCK Gregg calling balls and strikes for me!
I have never seen a strike zone so huge in my life. He had about 10 strikes on the outside of a LH batter that are quite literally unhittable without being out of the batter box on the inside or you illegally have a 46" bat.
Fat asses fat folds probably blocking his eye sight.
Maybe don't put so many left handed hitters in your lineup and you wouldn't have this problem
Looks like everything thrown over the plate was called a strike. There's no way Chipper and McGriff are swinging at pitches in the other batter's box for any other reason.
It's nice to see the Braves getting a taste of their own medicine with those terrible strike calls.
It's amazing how few of these were actual strikeouts.
I think it's funny that in Game 5 of the World Series Hernandez tried "painting" the outside corner throughout the game as he did here, and ended up walking eight batters. Tough to get those calls on pitches a foot outside when Eric Gregg isn't behind the plate.
I don't think Hernandez was a particularly deserving series MVP – he obviously had help – but a good question is, who should have gotten it? Not Jeff Conine, who hit .111 in the series. Or Moises Alou, who hit .067 (but somehow drove in five runs.) Or Charles Johnson, who hit .118 but also somehow drove in five runs. Or Devon White, who hit .190. Or Edgar Renteria, who hit .227. The Marlins as a team hit .199.
Kevin Brown won two games, but didn't pitch particularly well.
Then again, if they can give the World Series MVP to a guy for "winning" two games with a 5.27 ERA, they could have given it to Brown for winning two with a 4.20 ERA.
Microscopic strike zone
Eric "Fat Fuck Rerun" Gregg only had this assignment because NL president Len Coleman (and Chub Feeney, Bart Giamatti and Bill White before him) were all scared shitless of Richie Phillips, who threatened to strike whenever a grossly incompetent umpire was threatened with termination. Also, Phillips and Gregg were BFFs, since Phillips especially loved Philly umps.
That last call should have gotten the umpire fired immediately.
Pause at 1:34: LOOK WHERE THE CATCHERS FUCKING GLOVE IS
And on the 12th of October 1997 the Lord said "LET THERE BE QUESTEC!" (Seriously it's in Corinthians)
I remember watching that game. MLB should be ashamed.
If there was twitter or facebook back then, it would have crashed right away with that hideous strike zone
Most of them are borderline but the last one is definitely not a strike.
That strike zone was bigger than Madonna's snatch.
Just because Livan Hernandez was some poor bastard from Castro's Cuba doesn't mean he deserved some sort of consolation strike zone. This was the biggest BS in baseball history.
Costas and Joe Mogan are climbing over each other to be the first to give Livan a rimjob. Settle down, boys.
This umpire is so blind, he can't see his own cataracts.
