When you’re Aaron Judge and you’re all of 6-foot-7, you know when there’s a ball thrown that’s under your knees.
That was the case on Tuesday night, when Arizona Diamondbacks ace Zac Gallen threw a 94 MPH fastball that was pretty far out of the strike zone and definitely below Judge’s knees. The umpire called a third strike and Judge expressed his displeasure. The replay from the side angle clearly shows it was a ball.
This is your weekly (daily?) reminder that we could use some robot umpires to go with the human ones. Here’s the clip and some reaction:

That might be a strike on 5'7" Aaron Judge (definitely not 6'7" Aaron Judge).
