A whole lot has changed since last years Canada Day gong-show between the Blue Jays and Indians which had to be one of the most agonizing of games (for both players and fans), mostly because of some of the most questionable umpiring you’ll ever encounter. The Blue Jays would eventually lose that game 2-1 in 19 innings, and Edwin Encarnacion, John Gibbons, and Russell Martin would all be tossed out by home plate umpire Vic Carapazza for arguing calls.
Since that bizarre day in Blue Jays history, things have been relatively quiet on the Carapazza front as Toronto hasn’t had any encounters with the brash umpire since then.
