Mariners Vs Nationals Ends In A Horrific Third Strike Call By The Umpire

The Mariners defeated the Nationals on Monday night as a result of a terrible called strike that finished the game in the top of the ninth inning. Bases loaded, Jeimer Candelario was at the bat when home plate umpire Mark Carlson called him out on a fastball that never even touched the strike zone.

Mariners Vs Nationals Ends In A Horrific Third Strike Call By The Umpire

On Monday night, Jeimer Candelario was knocked out by home plate umpire Mark Carlson following a dubious ruling for a third strike against the Nationals against the Mariners.

Candelario became the go-ahead run for the Nationals after they scored one run and loaded the bases in the ninth inning, which they had entered behind 8-3.

Paul Sewald, the closer for the Mariners, threw a ball that seemed to be much beyond the strike zone. Even Mariners commentator Aaron Goldsmith said, “Strike 3 called, if you say so and the Mariners win it.”

With two outs, they loaded the bases after scoring a run. Seattle then requested closer Paul Sewald to complete the game.

He defeated Candelario, winning 2-1. He followed up with a backdoor sweeper that was far from the plate. Carlson didn’t care; he declared strike three to finish the game.

But the Mariners won the first game against the Nationals courtesy to a pair of sacrifice flies and three runs-scoring singles with two outs after suffering two consecutive losses in which all of Seattle’s runs came from home homers.

“There’s no better thing, better uplifting feeling in the dugout than when you’re coming up with those two RBIs,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said. “We’ve had some games like that where we talk about just keeping the line moving.”

Balls and strikes are still not subject to review, even if plays on the bases are. Despite the success of the Automatic Ball-Strike system in Minor League Baseball, the MLB has not adopted it, and Commissioner Rob Manfred has said that it won’t be done so until 2024.
