You can understand why he wants robot umps after this terrible call.
We’ve seen so many bad calls in baseball that calling for robot umpires isn’t just coming from fans with an automated ball-strike zone maybe someday in our future.
We now have Jazz Chisholm Jr. calling for them after a terrible call in Monday’s Miami Marlins loss to the New York Mets.
He was up at bat when umpire Rob Drake called a strike three on a Jose Butto pitch that was clearly outside by a lot. You can hear Chisholm protest on a mic, but he later took to X (formerly Twitter) with an emoji and one word to say this:
please

After that call? Understandable!
