This home plate ump in the Giants/Dodgers game has been embarrassingly bad. Can't wait til robot umps arrive.
I been saying this for 3 years. The crazy thing is they have rankings for umps and there are some great ones but because it's a good ole boy system, the trash ass ones stay for life and get the big money games to officiate.

Throw Johnny 5's ass out there and be consistent

Is baseball the only sport where the officials are so trash they having rankings?

An alleged serial burglar stole more than $650,000 of jewelry from the SUV of Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco when he was on a rehabilitation assignment in June, according to police and court records obtained by ESPN.

According to an arrest report, Kahlil Eugene Mathis, 24, used a wrench to break into Franco's Rolls-Royce Cullinan in a Jacksonville, Florida, hotel parking lot at 3 a.m. on June 22 and grabbed a safe that contained seven pieces of jewelry. Mathis sold some of the jewelry and police identified him through an Arizona driver's license and thumbprint he gave at a pawn shop before arresting him July 4, the report said.

As part of his recovery from a right quadriceps strain, Franco had been playing with the Triple-A Durham Bulls and was in Jacksonville when Mathis, who was wanted for three other vehicle break-ins, allegedly cased Franco's car in the parking lot of a DoubleTree hotel. According to the arrest report, Mathis took a $60 safe from the rear of the vehicle that held:

• A $300,000 gold, diamond-crusted Cuban link chain and circle medallion with diamonds and a W in the center
• A $200,000 rose gold Cuban link chain with diamonds
• A $70,000 gold pendant with a medallion in green and blue lettering spelling "FRANCO 5"
• A $44,000 Platinum Rolex watch with diamonds
• A $20,000 American League championship ring
• A $20,000 championship ring from Durham
• A $5,000 gold pendant of Jerry the mouse from the "Tom and Jerry" cartoon

On June 23, the report said, Mathis sold two of the items at a pawn shop about 20 miles southwest of the hotel. Following Mathis' arrest, police found the safe in the bedroom closet of an apartment occupied by a woman about six miles from the hotel. Among the items inside were the two championship rings. The two Cuban link chains and the Rolex have not been recovered, the sheriff's office told ESPN on Friday.

Mathis is in jail and facing charges for nine separate incidents since January, including four felony burglary charges, the Franco break-in among them, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office records. He has also been charged with 14 other felonies related to weapons, evidence-tampering, resisting arrest, credit card fraud and drugs, plus four misdemeanor charges, including assault. He has a court date scheduled for Aug. 1 and is being held on $906,566 bond, according to the sheriff's office.

A public defender for Mathis did not return messages left by ESPN.

After returning to the Rays on June 25, Franco played two weeks' worth of games before breaking the hamate bone in his right hand swinging. The Rays placed him on the injured list, and he is expected to miss six to eight weeks, keeping him out until at least mid-August.

Following a scintillating debut in 2021, when he batted .368 in the postseason, Franco is hitting .260/.308/.396 with five home runs and 23 RBIs in 58 games this year. The former No. 1 prospect in Major League Baseball signed an 11-year, $182 million contract with the Rays in November

Did this dumb ass not think he’d get caught after having to show his ID & give fingerprints at the pawn shop?! :why:
