Home plate umpire Dale Scott must be making a pitch for his own reality show. He was so bad on balls & strikes that he didn't seem real. You could say he "punk'd" the Red Sox.
A good umpire is one that you don't notice. Maybe he was having a bad day, but the 3-2 call to Big Papi in the 9th was a good 6 inches off the plate.
If that's his best, then it's time for Dale to check himself into umpire rehab in the minors. I'll have to watch for him the next time Dale is part of the umpiring crew.
Regardless, the Sox finish a successful 7-3 homestand which is just what they needed. Now it's off to Detroit for 3 & to New York for 2.
