WATCH: Rizzo rung up on horrible strike call to end game |
The Cubs had a lackluster performance in the team's 10-6 loss against the Padres on Sunday afternoon.
Even the last strike was rather bleak as home plate umpire Angel Hernandez rung up Anthony Rizzo for a strikeout on an obvious ball 94 MPH fastball that was outside of the strike zone. Rizzo followed Hernandez and argued for a few moments and Joe Maddon also gave him a few words during the exchange. Maddon told reporters after the game that the final strike call was "an egregiously bad call." HORRENDOUS MLB umpire #AngelHernandez waits until the very last pitch to make the game all about him, as he so often does, and K's @ARizzo44 on a ball two feet outside to end the ballgame. @Cubs #GoCubsGo pic.twitter.com/6WBolpZ0kk It was a ball but I guess the umpire was ready to go home: How does Angel Hernandez still have a job? Pitch #7 is called a strike to end the ball game. pic.twitter.com/ACP4Y0xnjU
