This is an interesting new series that uses pitch tracking data to grade how accurate the home plate umpire was during every game, and then quantifying the effect it has on the score. For example, in Sunday's Sox game, they had the rookie umpire giving over 2 runs in favor of the Angels: https://twitter.com/UmpScorecards/st...404938756?s=20
So far I've noticed the umpiring has been consistently against the Sox. It'll be interesting to see if the script flips when they return home.
