Umpire Chris Guccione admitted he was having a terrible night in a fascinating breakdown video

This was so good.

Last week, the Mariners had one of the wilder wins we’ll see this season when they rallied from four runs down against the White Sox and ultimately won with a Cal Raleigh walk-off grand slam.

And to be honest, Raleigh easily could have been ejected an inning earlier.

In a great breakdown video from Jomboy Media, we saw (and heard!) as both Raleigh and manager Scott Servais took exception with umpire Chris Guccione’s strike zone. Raleigh was upset with Guccione punching him out on a pitch the Mariners hadn’t gotten all night. When Servais came onto the field to protect his player, that was when we could see Guccione admitting that he does have bad nights and that he was just trying his best.

Props to the lip-reading skills from Jomboy. (Warning: Strong language in the video)

The best part had to be that Guccione told Servais that he was up at 3:30 that morning as if the Mariners manager was going to be understanding of the excuse. Servais was tossed for the argument, but Raleigh was surprisingly allowed to stay in the game.

Fans absolutely enjoyed this latest breakdown video. It was elite work all the way.
