UMPIRE SCORECARD

If you watched last night’s game and thought the home plate ump missed a lot of calls, you would be correct. I saw that 3-1 pitch to Carlos Santana in the top of the ninth had a chance to be a huge miss and it turned out as the most impactful miss of the night. Santana ended up with a single anyway, but that could have been huge in the moment (we know how the game turned out, but Pirates were in a good spot then)

John started working at Pirates Prospects in 2009, but his connection to the Pittsburgh Pirates started exactly 100 years earlier when Dots Miller debuted for the 1909 World Series champions. John was born in Kearny, NJ, two blocks from the house where Dots Miller grew up. From that hometown hero connection came a love of Pirates history, as well as the sport of baseball. When he didn't make it as a lefty pitcher with an 80+ MPH fastball and a slider that needed work, John turned to covering the game, eventually focusing in on the prospects side, where his interest was pushed by the big league team being below .500 for so long. John has covered the minors in some form since the 2002 season, and leads the draft and international coverage on Pirates Prospects. He writes daily on Pittsburgh Baseball History, when he's not covering the entire system daily throughout the entire year on Pirates Prospects.
