“While we cannot begin to understand how umpire Jerry Meals did not see the tag made by Michael McKenry three feet in front of home plate, we do not question the integrity of Mr. Meals. Instead, we know that Mr. Meals’ intention was to get the call right. Jerry Meals has been umpiring Major League games for 14 years and has always done so with integrity and professionalism. He got this one wrong.” – FRANK COONELLY,president of the Pirates.

The statement shares the organization’s dismay of umpire Jerry Meals not seeing the tag made by Michael McKenry three feet in front of home plate that resulted in Atlanta’s 4-3 victory at Turner Field.

2017 – The first-place Brewers defeat the struggling Mets, 2 – 1, behind a strong pitching performance by Chase Anderson who tosses seven scoreless innings. There is an unusual play in the 4th inning: with the bases loaded and one out, Milwaukee’s Eric Sogard lifts a pop-up near the third base line. The Mets’ batboy tries to get out of the way, taking his chair with him, but in doing so impedes 3B Wilmer Flores’ path to the ball. Third base umpire Fieldin Culbreth first calls the batter out, but the umpires reverse themselves after conferring, as there is no provision in the rules for “batboy interference”. Manager Terry Collins comes out to argue and is ejected, but he shouldn’t have bothered, as Sogard then grounds into an inning-ending double play.
