If it eliminated the Giants, it was the right call.

The ump believed he was correct in what he saw. Replay shows otherwise.
I gotta defer to the human element of the game. It has been there long before TV came into the picture.

It sucks but evens itself out over time too.

At best, an experienced umpire should have seen it as close, in which case you have to resolve it against ending a one run playoff game on a called check swing.

Agreed. In that instance the ump should be aware of the situation. Even if it was more borderline (which it wasn't), ending a post-season series on a ticky-tack call like that is just poor form.

And with the winning run at the plate no less, with two out in the bottom of the ninth. A WTF moment for sure.

Last week there was the usual argument that the wild card playoff should not be decided by a single game and the Dodgers, a wild card team, had the second best record and that was a crime.

Forget that BS.

Now an elimination game is decided by a first base umpire on a single pitch in the bottom of the ninth with a winning run at the plate. Hopefully he was looking toward the plate, before he made his call. Perhaps he wasn't. That would be his best defense.

You could hear it in Ron Darling's voice immediately that a horrible call was made.

I am almost certain the umpire crew was called by NY office after the game to tell them don't do that in that situation ever again.
