Umpire admits he has terrible days, a breakdown
What Happened
The Mariners are trailing by three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but they have the bases loaded with Cal Raleigh stepping up to the plate. Raleigh, the Mariners' catcher, takes the first pitch for a strike and the second pitch for another strike, leaving him in an 0-2 hole. He then fouls the ball back, showing his frustration with the umpire's calls. The umpire, Chris, has been inconsistent with his strike zone all night, and Raleigh's manager has had enough. He argues vehemently with Chris, saying, "You haven't been calling that all fucking night!" The overlay shows that Chris has indeed been inconsistent, calling some pitches in the zone as balls and others outside the zone as strikes. Raleigh's manager continues to berate Chris, yelling, "It's a horseshit night and you cost us the whole fucking game!" Chris responds, "Sometimes I'm just horseshit," acknowledging his poor performance. The manager is then ejected, saving Raleigh from being tossed as well. With the game now tied in the ninth, Raleigh steps back up to the plate with the bases still loaded. The fans are on their feet, eager to see him deliver a game-winning hit. Raleigh takes the first two pitches for balls, putting him in a favorable 2-0 count. He then hits a deep fly ball, allowing the runner to tag up and score the winning run for the Mariners. The Mariners' dugout erupts in celebration, dousing Raleigh with Gatorade and bubble gum. Despite the umpire's struggles, the Mariners have managed to come back and win the game, thanks to Raleigh's clutch at-bat. The players and fans alike are elated, with the bubble gum-covered Raleigh looking regal as he is crowned the hero of the game.
