First, I’m not saying the Chicago Cubs lost because of the bad call on Ben Zobrist. They hadn’t played a strong game, and we’re trying to at least get the tying run to the plate in Ian Happ. But if Zobrist can get another two-out hit, or coax a walk in that spot, there’s a chance. But that was taken away by one of the worst calls–outside of a little league game–I have seen in a while.
Hence, it’s no surprise that you’ll find Zobrist’s name at the top of the list of players who have advocated for an e-zone in baseball.
