MLB fans react to umpire's no-swing call that eventually led to Red Sox victory: "Blinded by the God awful yellow jersey"

The Boston Red Sox came away with a great victory in Monday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Check swings are not subject to review, despite the fact that most plays in a Major League Baseball game are. That was a major factor in this game.With two outs and two runners on base in the bottom of the ninth inning with the score knotted at 2-2, Boston's Luis Uras took the mound. Uras attempted to check his swing after Kansas City's Carlos Hernández's high 3-2 pitch.Uras appeared to be turning around, so that ought to have been a strikeout to end the inning. Vic Carapazza, the first base umpire, decided that he checked his swing and walked after hearing the appeal.Jomboy Media@JomboyMediaThis was ruled a no swing with a full count and two outs in the bottom of the 9thThe next batter hit a walk-off grand slam pic.twitter.com/kTBe9lbBUI123177This was ruled a no swing with a full count and two outs in the bottom of the 9thThe next batter hit a walk-off grand slam pic.twitter.com/kTBe9lbBUI&quot;This was ruled a no swing with a full count and two outs in the bottom of the 9th The next batter hit a walk-off grand slam&quot; - Jomboy MediaMLB fans reacted to the umpire's no-swing call that eventually led to a Red Sox victory:Damien 'ShellRazor44' Edgington@DamienEdgington@JomboyMedia He was blinded by the God awful yellow jersey@JomboyMedia He was blinded by the God awful yellow jerseyAlex Scherer@Alex_Scherer93@JomboyMedia Absolute garbage call.@JomboyMedia Absolute garbage call.Carl Warner@CarlRWarner@JomboyMedia Everyone at Fenway knew that was a swing.

Quatraro was ejected for arguing the strike zone on Saturday in Philadelphia and was ejected again for doing the same thing on check swings.“Well, obviously I thought he went,” Quatraro told reporters after the game. “Vic makes the call, obviously he’s got the better angle. But I obviously disagree with that. …“I can’t think of being much more frustrated than that. He gets the strikeout to move to extra innings. And then he didn’t. I don’t have much else to say about that.”The Red Sox capitalized on the opportunity after being swept by the Blue Jays over the weekend in three games.
