MLB fans have a real “Yanny or Laurel” situation on their hands here.
During Monday’s game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Guardians, Gavin Sheets committed an absolutely egregious error in the top of the first inning. On a pretty routine fly ball out to right field, Sheets just… dropped the ball, literally, out of his glove, allowing Steven Kwan to score and the Guardians to take a 1-0 lead early.
It was a really bad play from Sheets, who committed the worst of mental lapses at the complete wrong time. Though the error itself is bad, what had MLB fans talking after the fact was the call from the announcers, of all things.
