Blue Jays Announcer Had Perfect Reaction to Ump’s Laughably Bad Called Strike
Major League Baseball continues to have way too many umps struggling to do their jobs correctly, and that trend continued in New York on Wednesday night when Lance Barrett had a dreadful night calling balls and strikes in the Blue Jays-Yankees game.
Barrett started the game off by throwing out a foul-mouthed Aaron Boone in the second inning after he chirped the ump about some calls. And then Barrett proceeded to frustrate both teams with a strike zone that made absolutely no sense.
Blue Jays announcer Dan Shulman had a perfect reaction to one called strike by Barrett that was just laughably bad.

That wasn’t even close to being a strike, via @umpscorecards:
MLB fans crushed him:
Ump cards had to zoom out to fit his strike zone in lmao https://t.co/lJCNcUUfXE pic.twitter.com/HPNdQMm8Zl
