The Phillies’ J.T. Realmuto got rang up on an awful call against the Giants. / @MLB

The Philadelphia Phillies lost to the San Francisco Giants, 10-4, at home on Monday night and one bad call by the home plate umpire in a key moment had everyone, including the announcers of both teams, in utter disbelief.

Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto had a full count with two outs and two runners on in a four-run game in the bottom of the seventh. He thought he had drawn a walk on a pitch that was well outside the zone but was then stunned to hear Tony Randazzo ring him up with a called third strike.

The Phillies’ announcers did not hold back on Randazzo:

“Oh my goodness, that’s an awful call,” Ruben Amaro Jr. said. “That is not a good call.”

“That is way off the plate…That was as egregious a miss as you will see from a home plate umpire,” Tom McCarthy added.

This call was so bad even the Giants’ announcers were shocked:

Giants announcers Dave Flemming and Javier López agreed with the Philly guys. “He walked him. NO HE DID NOT. Strike 3 called. Wow. Realmuto’s unhappy and I don’t blame him.”

“Two gifts in the at-bat but you will take it if you’re Erik Miller and you’re the Giants. Oh wow.” pic.twitter.com/YXxC5FZ14A
