Apologies to the Pittsburgh Pirates, because these calls were quite bad.
In the New York Mets 5-2 win over the team on Saturday, there were a whole bunch of bad calls by home plate umpire John Tumpane. And thanks to Rob Friedman (AKA @pitchingninja), you can see a montage of them.
What you can also hear is the Pirates booth losing its mind over those horrible calls, and it’s the perfect soundtrack. Heck, even the Mets booth has questions about those calls, proving that it’s not just the home team that feels like Tumpane was very wrong.
Check out those moments:
