The year of the bad ump continued last night with this hilariously awful strike three call to end the Mariners-Yankees game. The call gave Mariano Rivera his 624th save.
The Mariners broadcast team was quite disgusted with umpire Jerry Layne

What did the Yankees broadcast have to say?

“Well, this guy’s headed to the Hall of Fame and sometimes you catch a break. This ball looks inside to me Al and a very generous call from umpire Jerry Layne. Mmm, very generous.”
Certainly not the worst call we’ve seen this year but egregious all the same.
