We’re getting to the point where MLB umpires are embarrassing themselves on a daily basis. It’s been that bad this season, and Tuesday was no exception.
One day after Diamondbacks catcher José Herrera had to physically stop umpire John Libka from confronting Zac Gallen on the mound (leading to Torey Lovullo’s ejection), we had Hunter Wendelstedt giving us the worst strikeout call we’ll see this MLB season. In a league that still employs Angel Hernandez as an umpire, it’s saying something.
During Tuesday’s game between the Twins and Tigers, Wendelstedt called Eric Haase out on a pitch that was closer to hitting the dirt than it was to catching the strike zone.
