Major League Baseball’s umpiring problem hit a new low Tuesday night when Larry Vanover set a season high for missed calls in a game, which left the Red Sox and Rays in disbelief all evening long. 

The veteran umpire missed an astounding 29 calls while working home plate in a game that Tampa Bay won with a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 11th inning.

Brutal. 

Fans were in disbelief:
