Umpire Dan Lassogna's particular brutal outing could have cost the Reds the game and drew their ire.Being an umpire in the modern MLB is one of the most thankless jobs in all of sports. When they do everything perfectly, they hardly ever get noticed, let alone credit. When they make a mistake, they draw the ire of teams and fans. This is not to excuse the consistently poor performances some umpires have, many need to be better just like the players.Umpire Auditor on Twitter shared a compilation of the blown calls, and some players venting their frustration.Umpire Auditor@UmpireAuditorUmpire Dan Iassogna missed 13 calls in the #Reds #Giants game and 10 went against the Reds.Joey Votto and Will Benson didn't hesitate to tell Iassogna how that made them feel. pic.twitter.com/25akDYJfSO2666331Umpire Dan Iassogna missed 13 calls in the #Reds #Giants game and 10 went against the Reds.Joey Votto and Will Benson didn't hesitate to tell Iassogna how that made them feel. pic.twitter.com/25akDYJfSONothing will get under a fan's skin faster than thinking they are being targeted by the officials.
