MLB fans bat for Chris Bassitt after Blue Jays ace falls prey to poor umpiring: "Show the strike calls that were missed"

Chris Bassitt has not had the season he hoped for after leaving the New York Mets for the Toronto Blue Jays. He's struggled to adjust to his new team and has not shown the form he did most of last season. He gave up four runs to the Seattle Mariners today and was seen taking out his frustration in the dugout.Talkin’ Baseball@TalkinBaseball_Chris Bassitt is NOT happy123832Chris Bassitt is NOT happy https://t.co/sblgfiCyo8Many who were watching what transpired during the game thought that Bassitt's reaction, which involved destroying an iPad, was justified. From their (and obviously from the Toronto ace's) point of view, the umpires missed calls on a few strikeouts.Several MLB fans came to his rescue after a video of the incident was posted online.Alejandro Kirk Enjoyer@backgoesupton@TalkinBaseball_ Now show why he is mad7@TalkinBaseball_ Now show why he is madTyler Sanders@17tylersanders@TalkinBaseball_ Show the strike calls that were missed59@TalkinBaseball_ Show the strike calls that were missedDΛVID™ 🇨🇦@bjfanaccount@TalkinBaseball_ watched the replay of this at bat11@TalkinBaseball_ watched the replay of this at bat https://t.co/ZXmHG9yCfvBeentles@Beentles@TalkinBaseball_ As he should be.

Mariners need the umps to score a run it seemsThe umpires missed a few strike calls, which resulted in a four-run deficit for Bassitt and the Blue Jays. However, much like the MLB fans in this thread, his offense came to the rescue.They put an eight-spot on the scoreboard to give him a four-run lead to work with. While it potentially should have been 8-0, an 8-4 lead is still better than the 4-0 deficit Chris Bassitt and the Jays previously faced.Bassitt is through five innings and has seven strikeouts, though he obviously feels he should have a few more on the tally.Chris Bassitt is slowly reboundingChris Bassitt got off to a pretty poor start after joining the Toronto Blue Jays. His opening start was bad and it took him a few games to get settled in. Even with a poor start, his ERA has leveled back off to 4.82. It'll likely continue to drop as the season goes on.Chris Bassitt looks better nowToday's one inning notwithstanding, Bassitt has looked a lot more like himself. The Blue Jays, who are chasing the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays, will need more where that came from.
