I haven't watched Bumgarner pitch much -- he looks incredibly hittable, yet he's making people look silly. I wonder if his elongated motion doesn't cause some timing issues for hitters as he throws and / or movement issues as the pitch goes across his body..

As long as the ump is consistent, I don't see a problem with his zone. Appears to call the high and low strike, but isn't calling anything on the edges at all.

I ususally have GameDay on during the games. What I am seeing on there is pitches in the GameDay strike zone NOT being called strikes for Cueto, and pitches OUTSIDE the zome being called strikes for Bumgarner. This inning the second strike on Votto and strike three on Bruce were both outside, but were called strikes.

This ump is terrible.
