Umpire Woes Strike Again: Frustrated Washington Nationals Manager Erupts in Outrage as Another Controversial Call Robs Team of Victory

The Washington Nationals have had a dismal 2023 season, struggling in both pitching and batting. Adding to their frustration, a wrong umpire call recently caused them to lose a game, infuriating manager Dave Martinez. This incident worsens the already sour atmosphere as they remain at the bottom of the NL East.

Dev Martinez is unhappy with umpire decisions

Struggling at the bottom of the NL East, the Nationals suffered a tough loss in their latest game. With a tied score of 4-4 in the 9th inning, an umpire's error allowed the Houston Astros to score the winning run, causing frustration for Nationals manager Dave Martinez.

What did Martinez say?

Nationals manager Martinez passionately criticized the umpire's call in a post-game interview. He said, “There it is, right there. Take a look at it. Is that on the line? I don’t think so. I’m over this play, seriously. They need to fix the rules. This is what the umpires see, that he’s running down the line. Tired of it, tired of it. Fix it. We lost the game and he had nothing to say about it. ‘Cause he can’t make the right call. Brutal, brutal.”

It is not the first time for Martinez

During a June game last year, the Nationals faced a similar incident with a disputed obstruction call. Manager Dave Martinez vigorously contested the call, leading to his ejection. The Nationals ultimately endured a disheartening 8-7 loss to the Phillies.
