[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1782782, member: 4159"] This was posted long before the game was even over. So pretty funny tweets. Other just angry. [HEADING=2][URL='https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/umpire-ed-hickox-yankees-cardinals-fans-furious-strike-missed-calls-video-reaction-mlb']Yankees fans were justifiably furious with umpire Ed Hickox's dreadful day behind the plate[/URL][/HEADING] If you needed any indication as to why Major League Baseball is testing an automated strike zone in the minor leagues, just check out what happened during Sunday’s game between the Yankees and Cardinals. Ed Hickox has worked as an umpire in MLB since 1990. And despite his 32 years of experience, he’s among the [URL='https://twitter.com/UmpAnalysis/status/1553397540489498625/photo/1']worst umpires behind the plate in the entire league[/URL]. Earlier this season, he called a ball on a pitch that was [URL='https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/mlb-umpire-ed-hickox-cody-bellinger-ball-call-video-dodgers-white-sox-reaction']right down the middle[/URL]. That was terrible, sure, but situationally, you won’t see many worse calls than his full-count strikeout call on Marwin Gonzalez with the bases loaded on Sunday. If that wasn’t bad enough — he had 20 missed calls through six innings. [/QUOTE]
