The broadcast crew for Tigers-Rangers couldn't hide their contempt for an outrageously bad strike call
During Monday night’s Texas Rangers and Detroit Tigers game, the horrid state of MLB officiating reared its ugly head once more.
On a pitch from Tiger Beau Brieske to Ranger Leody Taveras, the latter chose to hold his swing and not take a potential out on the attempt.
However, the umpire called it a strike that sent Taveras back to the dugout, and the Bally Sports Southwest crew just laughed in disbelief at how bad the call was.
It’s beyond the pale for an umpire to call such a clear ball like that a strike, and you know it’s bad when a broadcast crew holds a call in such contempt.
"Gotta be kidding me. We just can't be serious. Wow."
