Umpire Brian Walsh makes another controversial call against Yankees

Brian Walsh made it two consecutive days now with a controversial call made against the New York Yankees.

The MLB umpire Walsh was at third base for Thursday’s game between the Yankees and the Houston Astros at Daikin Park in Houston, Texas. During the bottom of the sixth inning with the Yankees leading 4-1, Houston had a runner on second base with nobody out and Jose Altuve up to bat.

Altuve chopped a ball toward Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon, which McMahon appeared to make the catch on. But in his attempt to look the runner back to second base, McMahon bobbled and dropped the ball as he transferred it out of his glove.

Walsh immediately ruled that there was no catch on the play, giving the Astros runners on first and second with still no out. That kind of play is not reviewable by rule, so the call ultimately stood after a brief chat by the umpires. Here is the video.
