That ump had it in for Bryant specifically, in addition to just being terrible. Two at bats had horrible calls. But the same thing happened at least once today against Briant, both a high and outside pitch and a low and inside pitch were called strikes. Could either one have been strikes, yes, but not both in the same at bat, or even the same game if this were a few years ago. This year the zone has been wildly inconsistent every game. It really doesn't make sense. This is not just with the Cubs, I've watched a lot of Giants games as well, and they have the same problem.
