The gardener Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves He was unfairly struck out in last Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, so much so that the video of the moment has gone viral on social networks and at the same time has received direct attacks on the MLB referees.
Apparently, the referee who was behind home plate during last Tuesday’s game between the Atlanta Braves vs. Pittsburgh Pirates forgot the rules of strike zones or at least it seems that way.
Let’s see this incredible turn where Soto He saw a total of three pitches pass in front of him and ended up striking out, without swinging at any of them and as if that were not enough, without seeing a pitch that would truly end up where the strike zone is.
The second release was even more controversial. The ball clearly deviated from the plate, falling outside, but the umpire raised his hand again indicating the second strike.
Finally, the third strike was a fastball that sailed noticeably outside the strike zone, completing a glaring injustice. The punch was sung, and Ronald Acuña Jr.. he was sent back to the dugout.
