The Blue Jays took on the Angels last night in a dominant 6-1 win in Anaheim but the big story comes in the 7th inning.

In the top of the 7th, Blue Jays outfielder George Springer takes a low pitch that hit him in the foot which the umpires did not see. The umpires reviewed the call in which even the broadcast noticed the pitch hitting him but decided to stick with the call on the field and call it a ball. At this point Springer completely loses it and has to be held back by his teammates Vladimir Guerrero as he is charging at the umpires.
Springer ends up getting thrown out of the game which is when manager John Schneider decides to come out and fight for his veteran outfielder but it unfortunately does not change anything.
Umpire have always been an issue in baseball as their missed calls lead to players getting heated. It is a guarantee that they cannot always get the call right but in an instance like this which is so obvious, they have no reason to miss it.
