Jazz Chisholm Jr. appears to have request for MLB after terrible call

Jazz Chisholm Jr. on Monday appeared to voice his support for a significant change in Major League Baseball.

Chisholm’s Miami Marlins lost 6-4 to the New York Mets at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y. on Monday. Chisholm went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts. He was punched out in the 7th on a pitch well off the plate and couldn’t believe the call.

Following the game, Chisholm posted a message on X. He included an emoji for a robot and said “please.”

It certainly appears likely that Chisholm is asking for robot umpires.

It’s easy to understand where he is coming from after that terrible call.

An All-Star in 2022, Chisholm is batting .249 with 13 home runs and 19 stolen bases this season. He’s not the first player to request robot umpires.
