MLB Fans Rightfully Ripped Ump for This Laughably Bad Called Strike

This wasn’t his only awful call of the night.

Being a home plate umpire in Major League Baseball can’t be the easiest job in the world but still, we shouldn’t see any of them making the type of mistakes Brian O’Nora made in Tuesday night’s Marlins-Braves game. 

O’Nora, who has long been considered one of the worst umpires in all of baseball, added another embarrassingly bad wrong call that cost Atlanta’s Ozzie Albies a strike during an at-bat in the fourth inning. 

But that wasn’t the only bad call O’Nora made in the game. He missed an astounding 17 calls on the night, which only adds to his reputation of being not very good at his job. 

Check out this pitch that he called a strike:

That was pathetic. 

So were these wrong calls:

How can Umpire Brian O'Nora be in the @MLB by being framed all night? Do better @MLB_PR https://t.co/vAPUCSFA7B
