MLB ump who yelled to defend his strike 3 call on Aaron Judge turned out to be very wrong

“Ain’t no way that pitch is down.” (It was down.)

Oof, Laz Diaz.

This was not a great strike three call from the umpire on Aaron Judge, a ball from Kevin Gausman that was clearly low, especially to the ginormous New York Yankees outfielder. (For what it’s worth, we’ve seen this happen a lot with Judge, with pitchers trying to throw low enough and get a strike out of it).

What’s worse is Diaz defended it as Yankees manager Aaron Boone argued a little from the dugout and was clearly wrong.

Check out the pitch and the resulting argument, as Diaz tells Boone, “Ain’t no way that pitch is down.”
