The San Francisco Giants game against the Colorado Rockies on Monday started ominously.
The first pitch of the game, a 92-mph slider from Chad Kuhl to LaMonte Wade Jr., was outside by somewhere between a mile and a kilometer (who knows the difference, really). It was called a strike.
See, here it is, hiding behind that purple ball.

Wade overcame the grave injustice to get on base with a single. The next batter of the game, Thairo Estrada, then struck out on an equally egregious call.
