MLB Fans Rip World Series Umpire for His Dreadful Performance in Game 3

MLB Game 3 World Series

The Texas Rangers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 3-1, in Game 3 of the World Series on Monday night to take a 2-1 series lead. 

Although it was a good bounce-back win for the AL champs, all most fans were talking about after the game was the dreadful performance by the home plate umpire, who had a number of bad calls that went against both teams. 

Alfonso Márquez’s strike zone was baffling for much of the night. Even Fox’s announcers couldn’t believe some of the calls, and they didn’t hold back.
