For someone who rarely speaks out or tweets, Ke'Bryan Hayes sure did make a buzz on social media Sunday night by calling for the implementation of the Automatic Balls and Strikes system (ABS).
He had reason to be upset. Ahead in the count 3-1 in the eighth inning Sunday, Hayes took an A.J. Minter fastball that appeared to be off the plate, but home plate umpire Bill Miller called it a strike. Hayes whiffed on the next pitch, and what would normally be a walk was instead a strikeout.
"Some umpires really don’t care," Hayes tweeted out.
