edit: I think this might be worse than any Angel one I’ve seen recently.
Two pitches in the same spot back to back, one was a ball, one was a strike.
Bonus is that he’s been calling the inside like that balls all game. But go ahead and switch it up in the 9th inning 🤔
Horrible call – human ball/strike calling has simply got to go.
what a brutal fuckin call. first guardians game I could catch so far and to end it like that. awful
I’m also upset Fry wasn’t batting for Florial or Rocchio. Like sure, lefty matchups, but I think Fry is just so much better that it makes up the difference.
I honestly think that might have been the worst baseball game I’ve watched in years. Some truly bad calls against both teams (the missed obstruction call at first and this terrible strike three), balls being lost in the sun constantly, throwing errors, base running mistakes, etc. And we get to do it all over again in a few hours!
Is pitch framing too good this year, or are we just posting more of these calls on a daily basis? Feel like it’s been the worst it’s been since the 90’s this year but it might just be perception
Oh nooooo.
Got away with one, really no question about it.
I feel like it didn’t used to be this egregious
I can assure you if the bases aren’t loaded Clay Holmes isn’t throwing strikes. Umps have been on a mission this year to as bad as possible
Robots please
These umpires are putting in their best effort to get auto strike zones implemented very soon
The ump was missing calls in that exact spot all day. The last one just happened to be the biggest one.
Holy fuck that’s just as bad as the one that ended the game against the Dbacks last week.
Maybe it’s the early season sample size, but the umps have to pick it the fuck up.
I am a Yankees fan that is a terrible strike call. This ump went to Angel Hernandez school of umpires.
The umpires are so awful this early in the season.
can be please replace these old fucks with robots
As a manger not getting thrown out after that call is inexcusable.
he said “Angel, hold my beer”
The umpires union is a domestic terrorist organization
Twins fans watching karma catch up belatedly.
Get the robot umps in here. I’m not a fan of either of these teams but this is so fucking dumb.
Unforgivable performance from blue today
So bad

If that’s your last at bat you might as well tee off on the ump. What is he gonna do? Eject you? Your games done anyways.
I’m sorry but that catcher’s framing is impeccable
Lmao, godawful frame job too
Watched the game, and the ump was terrible all game. Constantly balls, strikes, especially low ones. Was almost every at bat.
Maybe I have a short memory, but it seems like the umps are off to the worst start to a season ever. I’ve been watching / playing baseball for over 20 years. It’s BAD this year
Wow I was at the game, currently eating at a bar less than a mile away so I can go to game 2 of the day, I had no idea the call was this awful 😭
The pitch right before was in the exact same spot and rightly called a ball
We need robo umps so bad. You can’t keep taking the bat out of players hands in big moments like this. 1 out, tying run on second? You can’t be falling that ball as strike 3
It’s BS
I for one welcome our new robot umpire overlords. Cannot happen soon enough.
