Oh, you thought home plate umpire Carlos Torres was bad in Game 1 of the World Series? Let us introduce you to home playe umpire Mark Carlson, who’s out there for Game 3 between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Carlson’s zone has been all over the place on Monday night, which is the perfect recipe for the Yankees to completely fall apart if they aren’t stringing together hits. When they go in bouts of offensive struggles, they make sure to highlight every bad call by the umps, whether it impacts the game or not.
The lesson? Never put yourself in a position to have the umpires drastically affect the game, unless it’s a win-or-go-home affair. Nothing you can really do getting hosed in that type of situation…
