Losing is one thing but a game ending on a strike 3 call that isn’t a strike is shameful. Umpires really need to do better. They aren’t supposed to be a part if the game, if you know what I mean. Good article.

Yup! Again, anything can happen, but let the play on the field decide that!

I wish they'd offer limited challenges on balls and strikes before this sort of thing ends another playoff game.

Agree! I think you should have your regular challenge and then you get one a game to dispute a bad call. If you get it right, then you’re still done for the night w/ challenges.
