During the Mets-Diamondbacks series, broadcasters Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez expressed their frustration with the home plate umpiring crew, particularly after a controversial call during a pivotal moment in the game. Their criticism peaked when a pitch was incorrectly ruled a ball despite hitting the bat, preventing a strikeout. Hernandez summarized their disdain, referencing bad officiating across consecutive series, which included another significant error involving Jesse Winker, emphasizing ongoing issues with umpiring accuracy that impact game outcomes.
John Bacon does not seem to know the difference between a ball hitting a bat and a bat hitting a glove. That was clear a foul tip for strike three. ... I mean, what's going on, Keith?
These two series in a row just el stinko.
I mean, come on... I mean, what's going on, Keith?
Winker hit into a triple play in the opener after his line drive to first base was incorrectly called a catch.
