They say that only losers complain about officiating. I’ve never really bought that, because winners don’t complain about officiating because it doesn’t matter for them. Why would they complain?
And alright, fine, maybe it’s dumb, as a team barrelling towards 110 losses, to complain about officiating when what really matters is how Bobby Witt Jr. did (a double and a walk) and how MJ Melendez did (three hits) and how Cole Ragans pitched (like a man with his hair on fire, in a good way).
But I simply cannot go through this recap without mentioning one absolute bullshit call, one of the worst judgment calls I’ve ever made.
