If you're a Toronto Blue Jays fan stuck in a heated division race trying to avoid the perils of the Wild Card, all you want is a fair playing field. On Tuesday night, you didn't get one. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the second, George Springer laced a ball clearly fair down the left-field line for what should've been a two-run double; the umpire didn't see it that way.
On the very next pitch, his cohort determined Ball 3 well outside to be the at-bat's final strike. It was so egregious that it made me want to check and see if Brian Walsh was behind the dish (the Jays were playing the Red Sox, duh).
