Was this a missed call? Or right on the borderline?
You’ll make the call when you see it.
Luis Urias, acquired by the Boston Red Sox at the trade deadline, had a 3-2 count on him in the bottom of the ninth inning and his teammates on first and second. With two outs in a tie game, he might have been thinking about getting the game-winning hit, when the pitch came up high.
He started to swing and pulled back. But … did he? It sure looked like he barely came around, yet the first base umpire ruled a NO.
The very next at-bat? The game-winning grand slam from Pablo Reyes. Ouch:
This was ruled a no swing by Luis Urías
