This is not the kind of call you want to see in a bases loaded situation.
During Wednesday night’s game between the Boston Red Sox and Atlanta Braves, Kevin Plawecki was called out looking on strike three on a pitch… that wasn’t even close to the zone. With two outs, a full count, and the bases loaded, the pressure was on for Plawecki to deliver a run in a 3-3 tied game in the top of the sixth.
Plawecki took the pitch, which was low and out of the zone, but the umpire called it a strike for the punch out to end the inning. How bad was the miss? See for yourself.
