Is the home plate Umping really this bad?

[Alabama Stakes]

once saw Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana back to back against red sox, whwn Tanana threw almost as hard as Ryan. It was a life changing experience. met Ryan and got a ball autographed. You wouldn't mess with that cat. he looks like he coukd knock you out with an open hander

The home plate ump made up for it with a bunch of really high strike calls in the 8th. He was woefully inconsistent.
