If you haven’t heard by now, Los Angeles Dodgers fans aren’t too happy with home plate umpire Dale Scott’s calls at last night’s NLDS Game Three versus the St. Louis Cardinals.
Aside from a seemingly generous strike zone, Scott also appeared to clap when Yasiel Puig was struck out during the third inning.
Here’s 10 reactions to Dodgers-Cardinals home plate umpire Dale Scott:
1. Jokes.
Dale Scott called the ceremonial first pitch a strike.

Jared Massey (@JaredJMassey) October 07, 20142. “You get a strike!”
Rosenthal should throw one into the dugout to see if Dale Scott will call it strike three.

@jaymohr37 If Dale Scott was an air traffic controller, we'd have planes landing in Simi Valley instead of LAX. #jaymohrsports

Dale Scott´s strike zone, in more than one way: @MLB #Dodgers http://t.co/jrkHaoJwEI

Mony de Swaan (@Mony_de_Swaan) October 07, 20145. Matt Kemp is not amused.
6. Then people really weren’t impressed…
MLB probably gonna fine Matt Kemp for being critical of umpires, but Dale Scott is the one that should be punished.

@Mlb Umpire Dale Scott needs to be removed from the playoffs, most inconsistent ball and strike calls I've ever seen

Jake Markley (@Jakiepoo6353) October 07, 20148. Cemented with stats.
Dale Scott, the ump for STL-LA, had a correct call % of 83.7 on the 256 pitches thrown. Missing on 42 pitches in the playoffs seems bad @MLB

At least Dale Scott isn't behind the plate today
