I was watching the Atlanta stream today for the game. And there was a "hit by pitch" against the Tigers that AJ challenged. And the co-announcer for Atlanta gets super aggressive and asserts "The pitch clearly hit the braves batter". And they show the replay and it doesn't appear to hit the batter. And he kept doubling down on his ignorance, and you could tell the main host was just agreeing with him to keep the peace. And then the umps end up agreeing with AJ and saying "No hit by pitch". And he just goes irate claiming it clearly hit the pitcher. And then they showed the most clear view from the side and it didn't appear to hit him. And he says "you need to watch it from another angle."

This might seem dumb I posted this, but in all my years of watching baseball I don't think I've ever seen someone be so angry and dead wrong on something so petty. In a game that was 0-0 in the 2nd or so inning. (I suspect he was drunk on the job)

It was just bizarre AF.
