Umpire Scorecard

I discovered this Twitter feed:

It came up after last night's horrid performance by Jeff Nelson (I'm not sure how the 2-strike call w/May pitching didn't make the "Worst" list):

I like this. “Worst” means in terms of impact on the game, not how badly the ump was off. Often those “worst” calls aren't really that bad. That 3-0 strike to Walker, for instance, was a ball, but a lot of umpires would have called it a strike, especially on that count. The really outrageous thing is that consistency score. Nelson couldn't even get his own strike zone right.
