I don’t think MLB umpires have a personal vendetta against the Nationals, but it sure seems that way. On the international stage that is the World Series, we’ve seen a number of bad calls that seem incredibly skewed in favor of the Astros, and last night’s 7th inning was no exception. It was one of the most exciting frames in recent Series history, however.
Trea Turner was called out on this play.

Most people agreed that Trea Turner was robbed, though Cubs’ broadcaster Len Kasper was one of the few exceptions.
