[Highlight] Xander Bogaerts strikes out on a full count

Atrocious
That looked horrible!!
One of the worst I’ve seen in a while
Some people will see this and say “it’s the art of framing” lol
ABS can’t get here soon enough
Ump: sure he brought it up by a foot, but still a perfect frame job by the catcher!
That was a bad call there.
ABS on EVERY pitch, not just 2 challenges a game. I want robo ump for every single pitch.
Baseball on ABC ❌
Baseball on ABS ✅
Lol “Human element” My ass, i don’t care what game, or who’s playing, we MUST bring robo ump immediately. God.
Tapping that helmet to challenge in 2026
Maybe I’m being a conspiracy theorist but this feels like the ump getting back at Bogearts for his reaction to the previous pitch
Even as a Cubs fan. . . that was bad.
perfect end to the balls and strikes arent reviewable era. sorry, padres fans. you didnt deserve that. nobody does. ok maybe astros or cardinals fans
Horrible. Should not happen in the playoffs.
Man, in the postseason? Really ump?
Umpires rapidly making automated balls and strikes more and more important. That was a game changing blown call.
Correct the title – “Xander Bogaerts strikes out on a ball”
There’s the justification for a huge expansion of ABS next year. Whoever was behind home plate should be shown the door for the rest of the playoffs.
Horrible. I’m getting ejected and suspended. Like a $100k fine type ejection.
That is absolutely brutal, especially considering Keller was atrocious. I don’t know if the Pads could’ve tied the game, but they deserved an honest opportunity to try.
Making a call like that is bad enough, never mind in the playoffs. Then, it’s unforgivable.
Bad call
Umpires should have to answer to this shit postgame.
I mean I understand borderline pitches but no way a professional umpire can make a call that bad
Can we just get rid of umps calling balls and strikes already?
I don’t understand why they are instituting a challenge system next year. Just full, auto ABS. Every pitch
So, so bad
Egregious, horrible call. I’d be livid if I was a pads fan.
On the previous pitch, 3-1 count, the batter started heading to first base before the strike call. That called strike was right.
One thing I learned in baseball was not to show up the home plate ump and SD had done this move to first base on 3-1 counts at least 3 times.
I had a feeling that the pitcher was going to catch a break on anything remotely close to the plate, which he did. Not saying the ump was right for doing this, but SD hitters had shown him up at least 3 times.
