Apparently the Yankees can only win due to bad officiating now Horse s*** call - Tampa Bay Rays fans furious after controversial strike costs them the game against the New York Yankees

By Nathan Borkowski Modified 05 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share New York Yankees v Tampa Bay Rays The New York Yankees managed to avoid being swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, but it was not accomplished without controversy. With a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Yankees were in trouble. Two runners were in scoring position for the Rays, so even a base hit would have driven in a game-winning run. Then, with a full count against Yandy Diaz, the game's deciding call was made. Talkin' Baseball posted a clip of the final pitch and its aftermath to Twitter. Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Yandy Diaz is PISSED39619Yandy Diaz is PISSED https://t.co/bWLhcyZBLk If the Tampa Bay Rays hope to catch the New York Yankees for the American League East lead, they need every win they can get. Losing this game on a call that was dubious, at best, was heartbreaking. Luke Minosky@MinoskyLuke@TalkinBaseball_ As he should be.

Rays fans have every right to be upset with a call like that, especially since it cost them the game. CJ Burgin@cj_burgin2@TalkinBaseball_ Horse shit call what is you expect?@TalkinBaseball_ Horse shit call what is you expect? As often happens after calls like this, there are more and more fans asking for the implementation of robot umpires. While this move would likely reduce the amount of mistakes made by the officiating crew, it also removes a human element of the game. There are good arguments both for and against robot umps, but Tampa Bay Rays fans have a clear side now. Tony@tonycuozzo@RaysBaseball Give me robot umps NOW5@RaysBaseball Give me robot umps NOW Randall J. Hergert@Tripacan@RaysBaseball I'm so tired of games being decided by human error. Are we here to cheer the performance of an umpire? Or are we here to cheer the performance of the players on the field?! This umpire performance ruins the latter, and is sickening from a fans perspective. #RaysUp71@RaysBaseball I'm so tired of games being decided by human error.

Can we please go to robot umpires to at least be fair!3@RaysBaseball Brutal when an umpire can make an obvious wrong call that ends a game. Can we please go to robot umpires to at least be fair! The New York Yankees went through a lot in this game, and their resilience should be commended. Between the benches being cleared early in the game and manager Aaron Boone being ejected, there were plenty of distractions.
