Listen, we get it. Being an MLB umpire is undoubtedly a difficult job. Most nights, you can probably bank on somebody being angry with you. But sometimes, an umpire makes a call so egregious that there's simply no way to rationalize it. That exact scenario occurred during Monday's game between the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays.
In the top of the fourth inning with no outs and the Orioles leading 6-3, righthander Zach Eflin had a 1-0 count on Blue Jays second baseman Ernie Clement. Eflin then delivered a 90 mph sinker right down the middle, about as close to a perfect pitch as you can get.
