Being an umpire in Major League Baseball can’t be the easiest job in the world but what one of the fellas in blue did during a game on Sunday was just flat-out embarrassing.
In case you missed it, Marvin Hudson missed 20 balls and strike calls while working behind the plate in the Rockies’ 13–6 victory over the Mets. That’s an absurd number of missed calls and both teams should be furious about Hudson’s work.
You know what makes this all even worse? He’s the fifth umpire to miss that many calls in a game this season.
Here’s one of those calls:
Marvin Hudson missed 20 balls & strikes calls yesterday and is the 5th ump to miss that many in a game this year.
