Whenever a baseball player calls for robot umps, you can be sure of one thing: a blatantly obvious missed call that changed the complexion of an at-bat or even the entire game.
On Sunday, that player was Ke'Bryan Hayes, third baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hayes was batting in the top of the eighth inning, facing Braves pitcher A.J. Minter with the bases empty. The Pirates were down 5-2 after giving up four runs in the previous inning, and were trying to cut that deficit before they ran out of time. With a 3-1 count, Hayes waited for the next pitch. What he saw was a ball. What he heard from home plate umpire Bill Miller was a strike.
Hayes posted his personal reaction to the call on social media after the game along with a screenshot of where the ball was when it was called a strike. He pleaded for MLB to install ABS, or automatic balls and strikes , as soon as possible. Some umpires really don’t care. 3-1 call not even close. I hold him accountable after the game walking off the field and his response is “🤷🏽♂️ I gave you a chance to hit a homerun” that tells me you don’t care at all. No accountability. Bring the ABS please
