My Mariners have been doing a lot of that as well. Maddening.
Umps have gotten steadily worse over the last couple of years. Last night at our game, they displayed a graphic that showed how many pitches out of the zone they called strikes. It was at least 10 or 12, maybe more. I'm not sure they were biased to one team or the other, but it was a lot. I can understand a little on the outside pitches, but it should only be a couple of times a game, not that many.
The thing is, bad calls by the ump encourage the guys to swing at the bad pitches because they think they'll get called anyway.
