MLB Terrible Umpiring

[@matrix_killer2455]

Oftentimes, when one monster leaves, another takes its place. We better pray for baseball's sake that we don't have another Angel Hernandez in the game🙏

[@thosetwodudes]

This is all great evidence for the case of robot umpires: not only b/c they quite frankly would be better, but they'd also not have fragile egos and/or hurt feelings for no reason.

Terrible umpiring…….and no Joe West?

[@edvadojunk]

Another JomBOI special hit piece!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="84">1:24</a> is my vibe. All bark no bite. No need to respond to the player for nothin

Ump looking like a blind bum with that smirk

[@awallbroandliljamie]

These umpires have no respect for the game of baseball.

[@nahor88]

Everyone that follows the NBA harps on how the refs need to be held accountable. I don't see it talked about often enough with MLB Umpires, except Angel Hernandez. Some of these were simply before they instituted replay. Fortunately it sounds like challenging balls and strikes is on it's way.

@@nahor88 If you don't see it talked about often enough with MLB umpires then you simply do not hang around many MLB forums. It's one of the most talked about things on league and team specific forums.

@@ryanaltfillisch7155 I think MLB simply doesn't get nearly as much media coverage as NFL and NBA.

We seriously need to stop putting the pirates braves 19th inning call on "awful umpiring" compilations. - it's a LOT closer than people want to admit -Foolish Baseball already broke down this call, arguing why it was actually the right call -people to this day are STILL arguing about it -and no, replay wouldn't have overturned the call.

[@terrytitus5291]

Seen pitch many times,it was a strike 20 feet in front of the plate but Not when it crossed the plate. Ball hit to left field was an infield fly rule,crazy!

[@Nakanidasuyon]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="27">0:27</a> was strike tho

[@TheChrisPhoenix]

Ball practically hit the dirt it was no where near the strike zone

[@HighlightZoneSports]

@@TheChrisPhoenix no, it was received horribly by the catcher, but where it crossed it was a strike

[@DAK4Blizzard]

Agreed. The problem is the retaliatory strike call after that, on a pitch that missed by 3 inches.

[@DavidSmith-fx8lo]

That actually was an infield fly rule though. For those of you who need a refresher it is an easy google search away. The shortstop could have caught that ball with ordinary effort, was called off by the left fielder (arguably an attempt by the left fielder to abuse a failure to call in field fly?) there were runners on at least 1rst and 2nd, with less than 2 outs. Nowhere in the infield fly rule does it state that the ball has to remain in the infield.

[@HarrisonPeloso]

2016 judge comes up and never ejected, 2024 umps go soft and throw him out. WTF is happening to the game we used to know

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

Except the pitch he was ejected on was correctly called and he swore at the umpire. That's an easy ejection.

[@jeffdorlack40]

I think it is time for robot umps Ai will find a way

[@JuanLegendre-ey9ty]

What happens when an umpire mess with the wrong player and the player knocks him out? Umpires should do their job better.

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

You ruin all credibility when you put the correctly called Cardinals infield fly rule in this. I wish people who make these videos would learn the rules before acting like they know what they are talking about.

[@jalenbarnes7888]

Same with the pirates braves 19th inning call.

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

@@jalenbarnes7888 Eh, that one's tough. I think there is clear evidence that the catcher tagged the runner, but it is a lot closer than many want to admit.

[@jalenbarnes7888]

@ryanaltfillisch7155 That's my point, why is it considered bad umpiring if a call like this is that close? Cause in some angles yeah, it looks like an out, but in others it looks like he whiffed the tag.

[@ryanaltfillisch7155]

@@jalenbarnes7888 I think the fact that Meals came out afterwards and said he missed the call makes it a worthy inclusion.
