Future robot umpires in MLB are unknown. Human umpires aren't convincing in 2022.
Milwaukee reliever Luis Perdomo pitched to San Diego's Austin Nola on Wednesday. Everyone save home plate umpire Tripp Gibson saw a strike.
Gibson's call would have been strike three. Nola then grounded into a game-ending fielder's choice. No damage was done.
This pitch was neither outside nor within the strike zone, unlike Hernandez's called strike on Schwarber.
Omar Navarez compounded matters by jumping up and motioning to throw to first. That's not unusual.
