MLB fans rightfully ripped this ump for making the worst called strike call of the season

This year’s Major League Baseball season will be remembered for the home run chases by Albert Pujols and Aaron Judge but it will also be remembered for all of the awful calls umps have made all year long.

Baltimore’s Dean Kremer threw what looked to be an obvious ball to Toronto’s Cavan Biggio but home plate ump Doug Eddings didn’t think so because he called this obvious ball a strike:

I mean, come on Doug! This shouldn’t come as a surprise, though, because Doug Eddings has proven before to be really bad at his job. Hopefully he’s watching the playoffs on TV like the rest of us.

MLB fans ripped him for it.
