We’ve seen so many bad calls in baseball that calling for robot umpires isn’t just coming from fans with an automated ball-strike zone maybe someday in our future.
We now have Jazz Chisholm Jr. calling for them after a terrible call in Monday’s Miami Marlins loss to the New York Mets.
He was up at bat when umpire Rob Drake called a strike three on a Jose Butto pitch that was clearly outside by a lot. You can hear Chisholm protest on a mic, but he later took to X (formerly Twitter) with an emoji and one word to say this:
🤖 please

After that call? Understandable!
