- WARNING: If you are here and post the LIE that is nothing but a pansy "Maddux and Glavine got those calls for years"......get lost. Your comment WILL be deleted, and you will be blocked from channel UNLESS you can give me VIDEO EVIDENCE of a full game where Greg Maddux and/or Tom Glavine got 45 STRIKES' worth in the BATTERS BOX calls. We're not talking "worked the plate and yes, got a ball called a strike by the ump." We are talking about pitches the opponent couldn't even reach had he been standing right over the plate. Those two guys faced over 38,000 batters - so it shouldn't be hard for you to provide VIDEO evidence to prove it. This game was a disgrace, and Eric Gregg should have been fired on the spot for it. Is that why Florida won the LCS? No. But don't pretend Livan Hernandez didn't get two zip codes as a strike zone, either.

If we had any doubt he gambled on the game, it should be put the rest now.
Except he did it for both sides lol
@@emupike6 No.. No he did not th-cam.com/video/WKuN6GQeqd8/w-d-xo.html
1st and 3rd nobody out in the 1st inning when this happened. Those first 2 strike calls changed the course of this game + series.
chipper not at least getting a fly ball on that mealball at 1-2 cost the braves the series.
Why he didn't swing there and took the ball is beyond me
That one bad call ruined the Braves franchise for the next 15 years.
When a coach or player argues that the ump took the bat right out of the batter’s hands, this is a perfect example.
The catcher didn’t even try to frame that first pitch, it was so far outside.
He was like, "Whoa! I'm about to have a really easy day."
Wow, he threw 6 straight balls and got a K. And the only reason Chipper swung at any of them was because of the awful strike calls on the first two
Just like the marlins batters had to do! Do any of u idiots watch the game?! FFS, Braves got numerous calls too! They just weren’t able to capitalize bc they were outplayed by the BETTER TEAM!
Baseball should be able to immediately call into a game and remove any umpire who makes calls as horrendous as those, and then fire him immediately.
I think MLB was in on the fix. It was the Marlins first postseason after five horrendous years after expansion. MLB needed Miami to succeed that year.
You can't fire them for job performance they have a Union protecting them.
That’s how Jim Leyland won his World Series Championship.
He was on the take for sure. Braves should have walked away and accused him of cheating because he did. I was so mad when I saw this game
Boo hooo
What a helpless feeling this must’ve been. Lol
For who?! Both teams got same strike calls!
I remover watching this game and losing my mind. This was not just bad but this was flagrant, these were blatant balls.
The Braves were never the same after this series loss. I know Eric Gregg never umpired another playoff game and they declined to rehire him after the labor dispute but too little, too late. They just suspended a college umpire for 1 bad call that was really not much worse than the calls here.
Affirmative action trash
Dont know why 5th pitch wasn't a strike.
None of there were 😂
@@B1ood_houndyes, but the point the OP is making is: if the first two pitches were strikes, why not that 5th pitch? It was in the same spot.
He was being sarcastic
Did Eric Gregg pass the torch to Angel Hernandez?
they went at the same baseball school
Yep.
2 of the biggest clowns ever
Threw it to him low and outside. They both called it a strike and had a good laugh.
Yes
Maddux got 30 inch plate. Live with it.
You have a one mm cock.
Live with it.
See how that works?
This game was a travesty, the strike call on the last pitch to Mcgriff to end the game was absurd beyond comprehension
Game 5's strike zone was as wide as any ocean on the planet
I didn't get those calls in a Tuesday night men's league game, Jesus Christ
I remember screaming at the TV during this game. I remember Jim Gray interviewing Gregg after the game because his ball/strike calls were so egregiously horrible. When have you EVER seen an umpire interviewed after a game? That’s how bad it was.
The only time I saw anything like it was in the Memphis airport (morning newspaper), day after '02 Miami - Ohio St NCAAF natl championship game where a Big 12 ref named Terry Porter (not the ref on the immediate scene) threw a flag three seconds after play (and game) was over. Miami won the game and Porter stepped in and took it away.
Research late revealed Porter had been written up in Big 12 that year by conference front office for deciding a game with an errant and unnecessary call. Nonetheless, this bozo shows on crew working most important game of the season.
The next year, Big 12 relegated him to the booth, then retirement. Too late. As here, the damage was done. Like the Braves here, the great Miami dynasty was over and they never recovered. That would've been back to back natties. Coach Larry Coker went 6-6 two seasons later and was unceremoniously fired. Should've been back to back natties. Pays to be a Buckeye.
Gregg’s audition to be a LLWS umpire
Angel Hernandez was his understudy and Eric taught him everything he knew......which took about 30 seconds......
😅😅😅😅😅😅
They all looked like strikes to me. -D'Eric LeGregg
So this was the opposite of Naked Gun...That 1st strike was so absurd
Chipper didn’t even show him up. True patience shown right there lol
Makes me wonder where in Florida Gregg is from...🤔
I never understood why none of the Braves’ players or coaches argued these. They should’ve been livid.
@@RZA36
No they didn't. Watch the highlights of this game. He was in the tank. More so than any game in history.
@@chetarmlin1196 th-cam.com/video/3gU063N21qQ/w-d-xo.html
LOL...the very first pitch in the 7th from Maddox was a foot off and Greg called it a strike. You didnt see the Marlins bitch about it like the Braves did.
because they got the same calls in the 95 playoffs
The umpire was known as a no nonsense umpire. He was a very umpire and if you got on his bad side and tried to show him up, then thats even more calls against the team.
Also, Maddux was also getting those call strikes during the game, so at least the umpire was consistent.
You sure Angel Hernandez is the worst ump we've seen?
This ump had a financial interest in the game’s outcome.
Apparently so..
I remember this game well. Hernandez actually was praised big time for his performance. What a load of shit, and I hate the Braves!
I was at that game and every batter was not happy.
Strike zone was all over the place
Charles Johnson back there? Even he was like dam. 😂
I was shocked there was 3 runs in this game with that strike zone. What's crazy to me that with Maddux's control, why would he throw it anywhere close to the plate on that day...
I remember that game. Eric Gregg was horrible behind the plate against the Braves. Biggest strike zone ever. I always figured he owed somebody some money. I'd like to see the view of the plate like today's game and see how far off the plate those pitches were.
As long as you don’t take yourself too seriously!
The most pathetically umpired game I’ve ever seen. It was like this the entire game
That's Frank Drebin behind the plate.
Or was it Enrico Palazzo? Gosh, I'm not sure now.
Where's the moon walk?
for all the complaints in this game, remember that the Braves never complained about the strike zone. It's been fans complaining.
The NL strike zone in the 90s basically went to the outer edge of the inside line of the opposing batter's box
I watched this game. As a Tigers fan, I had no interest other than watching a playoff game. This whole game was a dusgrace.
Those signs from the catcher go crazy
Catcher didn’t even bother to frame those two outside pitches. Even he knew they were balls.
Ericl Gregg came that day thinking "if it's in bethween my hands, it's a strike"...😂
Yeah that's inexcusable. Good grief. Chipper had no choice but to swing at that unhittable pitch.
Makes Angel Hernandez look great!!
RIGGED ! But you can't say Anything negative or dispute the call ?? I saw that game the calls he made in the 9 th inning against McGriff were even worse.
Whenever Darryl strawberry was at the plate, his strike zone was even wider
This was the game Eric Greg ruined his own reputation… and made a guy who wasn’t particularly a good pitcher look like Koufax for one game
Worst part is, he was not consistent as I bet the ump likely would have called ball to the last swing and miss pitch if Chipper did not swing lol
Those strikes were incredible…you needed a canoe paddle to reach out that far…
Rigged to get the Marlins in the Series. Why has this never been addressed. Oh....never mind.
I watched those games it was very sad
Chipper Johnson had a batting stance very similar to George Bark of the Kansas City Royals.
Who?
@@neilmccomsey9550 Who?
Good ol George Bark
@@westhoodqualzini7884 He was such a dog especially when he went out to fetch that pine tar bat.
The pitcher looks straight out of MLB the show😂
Could you imagine working so hard for 162 games to get this spot, and then have this crap take place.
I think they were very good calls, but then I'm a Mets fan. 😂
Damn , either Gregg was blind , or just didn’t like Jones.
Not a single pitch within six inches of the strike zone.
Eric Gregg will forever be remembered as a dishonest, embarrassment. To me, the most horrible part of this is that he had to have a reason. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to come up with the reason. He obviously has a "vested" interest in the outcome of the game. To have your life's work on display like this and to forever have a recording of your dishonesty has to be hard for his family to take. This isn't one bad call at a big moment. This is an hours long event where a man who clearly has money on the line is cheating on live TV and could care less. Literally witnessing a crime watching this.
Yep that game was rigged. The ump was bought off for a bag of donuts and a milkshake.
For once the Braves could live a day in the life of the opposing teams hitters facing Maddux and Glavine with their little league strike zones.
Glavine possibly. You should probably shut up about Maddux. You make your argument look stupid.
1-2 pitch was a strike earlier in the count. Just atrocious umpiring. Did MLB show Gregg the door after this?
He actually showed himself the door, along with 21 others...
Easy to strike someone out when the plate is a mile wide. Gregg was horrible as many were in the 90s.
Hope this Umpire made enough money off this game to retire comfortably for the rest of his life. That was blatant. I don't know how Chipper Jones didn't take the bat to this umpires head after the strike 1 and 2 calls.
Before trashing on umpires, remember there’s not anyone worse than him and of course Angel. Joe West is quite the controversial character but wasn’t as bad as Angel.
Ump seems to have a problem with white boy Chipper.
Awful umpiring, but smart pitching staying outside, knowing you'll probably get that call 12" off the plate
I loved this game and became an Eric Gregg fan afterwards
The 1st to pitches were not close to being strikes , this home plate ump is worse than some high school umps, awful calls
Eric Gregg was a d bag too always challenging players and making it about himself.
Ump always was a pure clown!
Maybe the worst ball/strike called game in history. Makes Angel Hernandez and a few others look like robotic zone umps.
Eric Greg was a clown.
Fixed
Horrible ump😂
Looks close enough to me. Swing the fuckin bat!
Worst umpire ever. Racist obviously
100%
Eric Greg decided everyone was there to see him, this was absolutely disgusting and he should have not only been removed during the game he should have been fired
Did MLB shitcan this ump?
At the end of the day the strike zone is where the umpire says it is!
No it isn't. It clearly defined by rules of baseball what the strike zone is. Not by what someone is feeling that day.
Didn't say it is right, but it is what it is some are good, and some are Angel Hernandez!
@@robertconville6269No actually you are completely wrong, umpires are taught a strikeout that is in the rulebook. It is not whatever the umpire feels like.
Worst umpiring performance of all time at least in mlb
rigged
That's terrible
Eric Gregg was awful, along with Joe West and Angel Hernandez.
Popeye's must have had a special that was about to expire that afternoon.
When I see umpires making such bad calls i think it is ti.e to get rid of the bad calls and corruption by just get rid of umpires all together. Computers are un bias.
Until they're programmed by people with money on the line.
@@johncooper8537 Why would 30 rich owners want their game to be rigged? Look at this long list I've compiled of superstars that will be stuck in a small market.
@roland7584 I was thinking more of the people who have to oversee the system. As long as people are involved, corruption is possible. They don't even have to rig outcome, people will bet on anything.
When the ump has an agenda and its obvious
