Broadcast was dumbfounded after umpire Brian Walsh had worst missed call of the season
There's no argument that it's generally a difficult job to be an MLB umpire. Pitchers are throwing with more velocity and movement than we've ever seen before, and umpires are still held to an impossibly high standard. But there are some pitches that are so easy to call that there's no excuse. Yet, umpire Brian Walsh managed to miss the easiest call we'll see all season. During the fourth inning of Monday's game between the Orioles and Blue Jays, Orioles pitcher Zach Eflin went middle-middle with a 1-0 sinker. Somehow Walsh stood there without a reaction, calling the pitch a ball. The Orioles broadcast was so shocked that announcers Kevin Brown and Ben McDonald proceeded to roast the umpire. "That's literally right down the middle," Brown said. McDonald added, "I mean, you couldn't set it on a tee in the heart of the plate any better than that. How do you miss that?" With the at-bat flipped in his favor, Ernie Clement would end up hitting a single and scoring later in the inning. And on top of having the worst call of the MLB season, Walsh wasn't great the rest of the way behind the plate. He missed 12 pitches on the night. (Expand tweet to see the strike zone). Could you imagine if the ABS challenge system was in place for that game? It would have been even more embarrassing for Walsh.

Diamondbacks vs. Tigers prediction: MLB picks, best bets for Tuesday
Gambling content 21+. The New York Post may receive an affiliate commission if you sign up through our links. Read our editorial standards for more information. Not sure which team Eugenio Suárez will be playing for, but the Tigers host the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Trade rumors have Arizona's Suárez heading to Detroit. Maybe during the seventh inning stretch. Disappointing season thus far for the Snakes. But Brandon Pfaadt hasn't been the problem. Pfaadt has allowed four runs in his past 21 ¹/₃ innings. The Tigers went through a rough stretch, but the rest of the division failed to close the gap on the first-place Cats. Casey Mize has lost two in a row, giving up 10 runs over seven innings. We will bet $50 on the D'backs (+120, FanDuel) no matter what uniform Suárez wears. Casey Mize has struggled in his last two starts.

We were counting on Cam 'Kitty' Schlittler to box the Rays. Faster than you can say Junior Caminero, he hit a two-run homer in the opening frame and Tampa Bay went on to spank the Yanks 4-2.

Former GM Calls MLB Trade Deadline 'The Most Bizarre I Can Remember'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Circumstances beyond the control of major league teams have conspired to create a confounding week for MLB executives looking to improve their teams' fortunes before Thursday's trade deadline. Jim Bowden of MLB Network on SiriusXM and The Athletic, writing on his Twitter/X account Tuesday, rattled off a variety of unusual issues that combine to make this year's deadline "the most bizarre I can ever remember." This is most bizarre trade deadline I can ever remember: some of best starting pitchers having subpar yrs incl: Cease,Gallen,Alcantara; the best closer Clase on Admin leave; the best Pwr hitter Suarez gets HBP; the best 2 CF Robert and Mullins struggle & best avail DH Ozuna… — Jim Bowden⚾️ (@JimBowdenGM) July 29, 2025 Those issues include: · Three of the best starting pitchers reported to be made available in trades — San Diego Padres right-hander Dylan Cease, Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen, and Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara — are suffering through arguably the worst seasons of their careers. · Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase, whom Bowden reported was available in trades last week, was placed on paid administrative leave by MLB on Monday while the league investigates unusual betting activity related to his on-field performance. · Eugenio Suarez, who is tied for the MLB lead in RBIs, was injured Monday when he was hit by a pitch in the Diamondbacks' game in Detroit, leaving his health in doubt just three days before Thursday's 6 p.m. ET deadline. · Center fielders Luis Robert of the Chicago White Sox and Cedric Mullins of the Baltimore Orioles, both Silver Slugger Award winners in the past, are hitting .205 and .221, respectively. · Three-time All-Star Marcell Ozuna, who's hitting .233 himself, can block any trade because of his veteran status (players with 10 years in the league, and five with their current team, have the right to veto any trade). More news: MLB Puts Guardians All-Star on Paid Leave in Connection With Gambling Probe None of these factors suggest Thursday will be an exciting trade deadline — or, at least, one in which several big-name stars change teams. Most if not all of the best available players are struggling in one way or another.

MoreBaseball executives sometimes struggle with decisiveness as it is. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported Tuesday that four teams just outside the postseason bubble — the San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Angels, Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers — haven't signaled to other teams whether they will buy or sell. More news: Yankees Make Trade, Send Veteran Pitcher to Atlanta Ahead of Trade Deadline A year ago, 11 trades were executed the day before the deadline and 32 on the day the clock ran out, according to Baseball Reference (via Cespedes Family BBQ on Twitter/X). using @baseball_ref transaction data, here's a look at how many trades have been made on each day leading up to the trade deadline over the past 25 years quantity of trades has soared recently, so we're basically guaranteed to have a flurry of activity over the final 48 hours — Céspedes Family BBQ (@CespedesBBQ) July 29, 2025 The quantity of deals made Thursday might be large, but the quality remains questionable. Bowden, the former Washington Nationals and Cincinnati Reds, reported Tuesday that Alcantara's market is heating up in spite of his performance, and "there is a real chance he gets traded by Thursday."
