ATLANTA — It was overshadowed by Ronald Acuña Jr’s heroics and Atlanta’s walk-off win, but Brian Snitker was ejected for arguing what was clearly a missed call. If you missed it, a check swing foul ball in the second inning was ruled as a passed ball, which allowed the Cubs to score their first run of the game.
How does an entire crew miss this?
It'd be nice if that was reviewable too. pic.twitter.com/kDFxcrdzzW— Rob Friedman (@PitchingNinja) September 27, 2023As hard as it is to believe that four umpires could possibly miss such a call, the play was not reviewable under MLB’s current review system.
