MLB fans baffled by umpire's shocking Ozzie Albies strikeout call vs Mariners: "I swear that was even worse than the Dodgers one"

The never-ending MLB umpires saga in the baseball world seemed to continue as more officiating errors took the limelight. In the game between the Atlanta Braves and the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, a blatant third strike call was made against Ozzie Albies in the top of the ninth.The four-run game with Seattle in the lead saw Ozzie Albies come out to the box to face Paul Sewald. With first two strike calls made by crew chief Edwin Moscoso, the Braves' left-handed batter lined up for the third. Even though the sweeper seemd to land clearly outside the strike zone, a third strike was called on Albies.Even though the result of the at-bat was inconsequential, considering the scores at that stage, such officiating errors shouldn't take place at all. The Braves infielder was clearly dejected, as he was made to leave the field and head back to the dugout. Already, talks of replacing MLB umpires with automated strike-calling systems are making the rounds. MLB has already tested 'robot umpires' and with increasing mistakes coming from senior officials, the top brass might contemplate bringing in automated systems permanently.Sewald completed the save with two more easy outs. Atlanta fans were quite pissed as they took to Twitter to voice their reactions. One said:&quot;I swear that was even worse than the Dodgers one.&quot;Here are some of the top Twitter reactions:Rob Friedman@PitchingNinjaWhat are we doing? 🤖2131169What are we doing? 😂🤖 https://t.co/PPcCtRE2kXMethylis@Methylis1@PitchingNinja I swear that was even worse than the dodgers one@PitchingNinja I swear that was even worse than the dodgers oneremyale30@sanchezz_2803@PitchingNinja It was raining the guy just wanted to get out of there @PitchingNinja It was raining the guy just wanted to get out of there 😝Danny ⬆️ 💰 🧢 🥀@DannyParkIRL@PitchingNinja They just calling these on purpose6@PitchingNinja They just calling these on purposePaul McMillan@paultmcmillan@PitchingNinja It's raining.

On a 3-2 pitch, a four-seam fastball by Cardinals' Giovanny Gallegos was called a strike by Paul Emmel, as Betts was caught looking. However the pitch seemed to land just outside the strike zone on the TV screens.
