Friday night saw our first Dave Roberts ejection of the season and, in all honesty, it was pretty lackluster. In the 8th inning of Friday’s 3-1 loss, with the Dodgers mired in a frustrating offensive slump, Chris Taylor got no help from first base umpire Angel Hernandez who very, very much blew a check-swing call that changed the complexity of the at-bat.
For anyone watching any baseball this season, there’s that wonder in the back of your mind… are umpires getting worse this year?
