The Los Angeles Dodgers are set for a road series against the first-place Atlanta Braves this week, and it’s pretty clear that they were thrilled to get away from the umpiring crew in St. Louis.
The Dodgers dropped three of four games against the struggling Cardinals, and much of the on-field frustration had to do with how the umpires were making calls. In Saturday’s game, the Dodgers saw their chances in the ninth inning end on a missed strikeout call. On Sunday, Max Muncy was ejected after he complained about inconsistent calls and pointed his bat towards the third-base umpire Paul Emmel (who missed the aforementioned call on Saturday night).
