How bad can these umpires in MLB get?

Guy misses a pitch by a foot and the ump calls foul tip. Could cost the Pirates the game.
Absurdly bad call.

That may be the worst blown call I have ever seen. Obviously, not as impactful on the game as many others over the years.....but just bizarrely bad. Honestly, it was so bad that if there was any sportsmanship in the game, the batter would have said....."Hey ump, thanks, but that wasn't even close".

You just had to know Jerry "Its late and I want to go home" Meals had to be running that crew (FWIW, he was the crew chief, and umping at first base.......if anyone, he is the guy who absolutely had to see that and should have stepped in to get it right).

Every crazy call that goes against the Buccos always seems to fall on Jerry Meals night.......he is the Lemonnier/Witvoet of MLB.
