There are a lot of bad umpires working in Major League Baseball these days, including Dan Iassogna, who had just a miserable night behind the plate in Wednesday’s Guardians–White Sox game in Chicago.
Iassogna’s most embarrassing call should lead to some sort of punishment from MLB because not only was it a badly called strike, but it also led to Iassogna ejecting Chicago’s Gavin Sheets because the right fielder had the audacity to scream at him for being really bad at his job.
Being an ump is a difficult job but there’s just no way somebody at the highest level of baseball can make a call like this:
Gavin Sheets had enough of the ump show

This report card not only shows where that pitch was, but it’s also proof that Iassogna had an absolutely awful game:

The mlb needs to start suspending umpires for bad calls/games. Only way to have good umpires without robots. https://t.co/laiwXMV79K
