Doug Eddings has been an MLB umpire for 27 years.
He never told Fernando Rodney to fix his hat.
He never told Pedro Strop to fix his hat.
He never told Jazz Chisholm to fix his hat.
But Hancel Rincon can't wear his hat how he likes on "his field." That's blatant prejudice and Eddings deserves to be suspended
All time ump show in Colorado last night:
- Made the pitcher straighten his hat
- When the coach came out to argue, gave him a pitch clock violation
- Missed an easy call at home
I’ve never seen anything like this…
This ump stopped the game & made Cardinals rookie Hancel Rincon straighten his hat, saying nobody will wear it like that on his field. Quickly followed up by the worst revenge call I’ve ever seen.
Suspend him now @MLB
According to the Laws of the Game a red card via VAR can only be handed out for:
* Denial of an obvious goal-scoring opportunity
* Serious foul play/reckless challenge
* Violent conduct, biting or spitting
* Using offensive, insulting or abusive language
No, that wasn't a red.
