Dave Martinez was so mad at an ump’s non-call that he used a printed photo to complain

He printed out a photo to complain!

Ah, the old “out of the baseline” play that causes all sorts of controversy.

The case here: The Washington Nationals lost because Keibert Ruiz threw to first to try to get Jake Meyers out, but the ball bounced off the Houston Astros’ outfielder’s helmet. The Astros scored, game over.

But Nationals manager Dave Martinez thought Meyers wasn’t running on the baseline and should have been called out. So he printed out a photo to make his point to reporters.

“Take a look at it,” he said. “Is that on the line? I don’t think so. I’m over this play. Seriously. They need to fix the rule. If this is what the umpire sees, that he’s running down the line? I’m tired of it. I’m tired of it. Fix it. We lost the game, and he had nothing to say about it, because he can’t make the right call. Brutal!”

Uh, he might have a point there?
