Washington entered last night’s World Series game feeling like the umpires played a big part in Houston’s G5 win, and they had a point. But things did not improve Tuesday night.
With a 3-2 lead, Trea Turner did his best Michael Martinez batting impression by hitting a baseball 19 inches in a World Series game. Except Brad Peacock wanted to make things interesting, so he threw the ball a little wildly, and the umpires gave him the out anyways, because they suck this series.
How did they do this? Because they determined that a RHB who runs in a straight line to first base is interfering with the thrown baseball.
