'Terrible, terrible judgment': Jeff Brantley blasts Reds-Braves umpires over foul-tip call

Fanduel Sports Network analyst Jeff Brantley blasted the umpires Tuesday night over a call during the Cincinnati Reds' second game of a four-game series against the Braves in Atlanta.

With Reds outfielder Blake Dunn facing Braves starter Chris Sale in the top of the 3rd inning with a 3-2 count, Dunn appeared to take Ball 4 or get hit by the pitch. Home-plate umpire Alex Mackay ruled that Dunn foul-tipped the ball, but replays showed Dunn did not.

Dunn could be heard on the broadcast saying the ball hit his batting glove. Mackay called Dunn out, and Reds manager Terry Francona came out to get an explanation.
