Let’s get this out of the way right off the top: The Dodgers should have scored more runs in the NLDS. They should have hit better with runners in scoring position. They had their chances, and they didn’t capitalize. The Padres outplayed the Dodgers, and that’s why the Padres won the series.
With that said, with the technology we have available today, why is MLB still allowing bad calls by the umpires to affect postseason games?
Umpires aren’t biased, as far as we know. But they are human, and pitchers throw harder than ever with more movement than ever.
