What a great season though, too bad tonight was tainted.

Pretty much. Even that Navaro strike 2-1 was more than borderline - no pitcher in the league gets that call high and away. Forces him to swing at the same unhittable ball 2-2 because he doesn't know what a strike is.
The Revere pitch is one of the worst calls I've ever seen. You can talk about not putting the ball in play, but calls like that make it impossible to. How are you supposed to cover a zone that big? Sac flies are about putting yourself in good hitters counts and forcing the pitcher to give you something to drive because they are just going to nibble until they have to. The umps screws the Jays and then Revere is supposed to somehow cover a high and outside strike 4 inches off the plate along with Davis' wipeout slider at 2 strikes. Good luck. If Osuna gets that strike then the Royals wouldn't have a prayer of scoring either.
I won't be watching a second of the World Series after that screwjob. Really hard to take the league seriously when umps blow crucial calls that badly. Like I've said all year, robot umps please. I don't need the "human element" ####ing over my team's season.
