Probably the worst strike call I've ever seen

Anyone see the last strike of the Yankees Mariners game? I'm sick to my stomach right now...

Check out the strike call to end the Rays-Rangers game earlier this season...the batter was Ben Zobrist.

That was pretty horrendous. Mo had kind of the same reaction Joe Nathan did earlier this year.

Just saw the video. I've seen much worse than that.

I am sick of all these insane calls. Its about time a computer does this job... but baseball is too much of a traditionalist game to make any major changes.

Yep-that call was much, much worse IMO.

Is there a video clip or GIF of the Zobrist strikeout?

And why am I not surprised that AJ caught this pitch too. I remember where AJ checked his swing and actaully went around. The strike was dropped and he (AJ) started to run to first and the ump said he fouled the ball off but he was not even close to making contact and the inning continued. There was one other time AJ was catching and dropped a 3rd strike but the ump said he had it and the batter was called out on that too. But AJ never tagged the batter nor threw it to first like he should have. AJ is the master of selling thing and getting away with straight up bad calls

That call in the Yankee game wasnt anywhere close to the worst strike call that I have seen. Maddux and Glavine used to routinely get strike calls off the outside corner of the plate.
