It didn’t take long for the ump show to take over in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night.
Home plate umpire Carlos Torres didn’t make it through the first inning of the Fall Classic before an egregious call behind the dish.
Despite being a few inches outside and a tad bit low, Torres called the offspeed pitch a strike, putting Chisholm down 0-1 in the count. Chisholm would ground out to second base on a ball in the same location a pitch later, ending the Yankees’ threat. An inning later, with Will Smith at the plate, Yankees starter Gerrit Cole threw a dart of a 98 mph fastball on the outside corner, well inside the strike zone on the Fox broadcast.
“This is high level of a game for Carlos Torres to be working the plate, let alone working. He’s an awful umpire, he’s terrible to work with and hasn’t earned anything,” Hosmer wrote on the platform.
