The games
| Game | Grade | Favor | ABS | Blue Note |

| MIL @ PIT2026-07-11 | A | 0.2 PIT | 1/5 | Quietly excellent. The best umpiring is the kind you forget was there. |
| NYM @ ATL2026-07-06 | A | 1.0 NYM | 7/11 | The players kept asking for a second opinion — and kept getting one. |
| DET @ NYY2026-07-01 | A | 0.3 NYY | 4/6 | A workmanlike night — nothing to frame, nothing to fix. |
| TOR @ CHC2026-06-19 | A- | 0.0 CHC | 4/6 | Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks. |
| COL @ ATH2026-06-13 | C | 0.2 ATH | 1/3 | The zone had wings tonight. |

| DET @ BAL2026-05-24 | C+ | 0.1 DET | 2/3 | The zone had wings tonight. |
| ATL @ MIA2026-05-20 | B+ | 0.3 MIA | 1/2 | Down the middle. Both dugouts had the same zone. |
| LAA @ TOR2026-05-10 | A- | 0.4 TOR | 2/4 | Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines. |
| ATH @ PHI2026-05-06 | B- | 0.3 ATH | 7/9 | A few too many trips to the challenge cart. |
| BAL @ NYY2026-05-02 | A | 1.3 NYY | 0/3 | A tilt to the evening — the numbers say which way. |
| AZ @ MIL2026-04-28 | A- | 0.4 MIL | 2/3 | Nothing that'll trend, and on this beat that's a compliment. |
| STL @ HOU2026-04-19 | B- | 0.2 HOU | 2/4 | The kind of night where the umpire is the least of the story. |
| BOS @ MIN2026-04-14 | B | 0.2 MIN | 3/5 | Solid and unspectacular — exactly what the job asks. |
| MIA @ DET2026-04-10 | A | 0.1 MIA | 3/5 | Reliable as a Tuesday: no complaints, no headlines. |
| ATL @ AZ2026-04-05 | C+ | 0.2 AZ | 1/3 | Off the corner was close enough tonight. |
| NYY @ SEA2026-04-01 | A- | 0.2 SEA | 5/8 | A busy night for the machines in the truck. |
| DET @ SD2026-03-27 | A- | 1.7 DET | 3/4 | The zone leaned, and the ledger noticed. |
