The Padres Dugout Went Absolutely Bananas On The Umps After The Game
Holy moly. I think you just gotta let the Padres pick their best 5 and square up vs the umps. Home plate ump at the least. Let em at em! Look I get it, umps make bad calls (and correct calls) all the time and you can rarely pinpoint one exact call that costs your team the game. But with the game on the line you cannotttttt call this a strike:
Tough.
But on the other hand, the top 3 of the Padres lineup went 0-11 tonight. One bad call doesn't change that.
I guess the only fair solution is to let one player or maybe the manager fight one ump after the game. It doesn't change the outcome of the game but at least they get some punches in.
Not a hot take, but the replay system fixes all this. You can't blame 1 pitch out of 150 for losing the game if they just toss it to the robots.
Ah well, gg Padres.
