You're coming down strong on the side of authority here.

We can all agree that Angel is a poor home plate umpire.

Doesn't make it a strike. A strike is a clearly defined space. The Ump calling it a strike in error doesn't make it a strike. The ump doesn't get to arbitrarily make the strike zone, he/she can only make mistakes.
 
(It's really the usual contrarian bad trolling, but still).

Yes, the umpires are always right even when they are wrong.

Then explain the "incorrectly called" stat on the scorecard? I mean, if he says its a strike then it's a strike, right? wrong.

Yeah, and again, if he's "consistent" (i.e., he's giving up the inside corner to extend the outside part of the plate), that's one thing. When he expands the zone to comical, "let's end this 14-2 drubbing" in a 0-0 MLB game, it's another.

Don't go getting all philosophical on me. The umps role in a game is to call balls and strikes, out or safe. Once he makes the call, that is what it is(barring replay in some instances).
