Doug Eddings got into with the Cardinals manager earlier in the game, so he called the runner safe here out of spite even after review. He absolutely must be fired. There’s no way an umpire can be doing this in an MLB game
If I was the manager nothing is stopping me from fighting that ump. He has no right to tell a player how to wear their hat. Shut the fuck up and call the game
Umpire Doug Eddings went on a power trip during the bottom of the 6th in the Cardinals Rockies game.
First, he demanded that pitcher Hancel Rincon (in his MLB debut) straighten his hat since no one will wear a hat like that on "his field".
When manager Oli Marmol went to talk to Eddings about the hat incident during a pitching change, Eddings gave the Cardinals a pitch clock violation and ejected Marmol.
A couple batters later, with the Cardinals out of challenges, Eddings made a terrible call on a play at the plate to gift the Rockies the lead.
