MLB Fans Ripped Ump After Phillies Pitcher Got Robbed on Three Straight Pitches vs. Braves

Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler had every right to be upset with the ump after this at-bat against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Zack Wheeler learned a harsh lesson Tuesday night against the Braves—some of the umpires working in Major League Baseball are not very good at their jobs. 

Well, chances are Wheeler already knew that because he’s likely seen it firsthand many times before, but what happened in one Braves at-bat against the right-hander was pretty laughable, and it led to fans’ ripping the ump.

Wheeler threw three consecutive strikes to Braves third baseman Austin Riley during the first inning in Philadelphia. The only problem? Home plate umpire Edwin Moscoso called each of them a ball. 

Check out this at-bat, which ended with Riley “earning” a walk: 

Here’s a closer look at where those pitches hit the zone: 

That’s pretty bad!

Moscoso was actually pretty bad all night:
