The Chicago Cubs are headed to the National League division series, but their series victory over the San Diego Padres in the National League Wild Card round is still at the center of conversation. Although the Chicago Cubs were able to effectively stymie the San Diego Padres' offense throughout the entire three-game series, a controversial call from the home plate umpire has Padres fans and analysts seething.
After Jackson Merrill launched a solo home run to get the Padres on the board, Brad Keller delivered a 97 mph fastball to Xander Bogaerts that was called for strike three.
