Jerry Meals is a bum. Not to make the obvious joke, but he must have been late for dinner... Stras is robbed again.

  • Unapologetic: Adam LaRoche (+15.3%) is 1-4 with a 9th-inning single to put runners corners with the Nats down by one (+20.7%).
  • Meltdown: Tyler Clippard (-58.1%) can't hold the lead in the ayeth, giving up the tying and go-behind runs.
  • BAAAAAAAA: Wilson Ramos (-25.1%) is 0-4, including a 9th-inning backwards K with runners corners (-21.2%). Anthony Rendon (-16.2%) is 1-4, but Ks to end the game with the tying run on third (-15.8%).

So, is HP Ump Jerry Meals a bum, or what?

Well, his zone was a bit tight most of the night:

However, he seems to have expanded his zone quite a bit on a few pitches... for the Fillies.  Hmm, what pitches were those?

Verdict: BUM!
