The umpires have been quite terrible so far in the series against the Orioles as yesterday a pitch that went right down the middle was called a ball and had the announcers completely shook.
maybe the worst call in baseball history
It looks like those brutal calls continued tonight which got under Popkins skin and caused him to snap on the umpire resulting in his ejection from the game in the 7th inning.

David Popkins getting ejected. King.
The MLB has been taking on a lot of heat from fans lately for how bad some umpires have been lately making some massive errors when it comes to the strike zone.
This is a tough subject since the league wants to avoid these problems with the new ABS system that they want to implement but fans and players have no interest in that sort of tech being part of the game.
Hopefully they will find a solution that suits everyone but it certainly will not be easy as one side will always not be happy but something clearly needs to change with the umpires.
