Brewers Endure One Of the Worst Calls of Recent MLB History
Milwaukee Brewers lost their game against the Miami Marlins, 6-2. It was not a pretty game. Zack Godley, the newly called up pitcher, walked five guys and gave up a large three-run home run to former Brewers star Jesus Aguilar. Godley left the game with a finger injury that put him on the injured list. But the headline from this game was the horrific call that the Brewers dealt with early in this game. Umpire Marty Foster called an obstruction by Godley of Marlins’ player Isan Diaz. This looked like a normal every day play. I’m not sure what Foster saw here to make it an obstruction.
“I was just baffled at what was going on.”

In the least surprising news of the world, the Brewers had a coach tossed for this. It was Pat Murphy, the bench coach, not Craig Counsell. Murphy used to coach college ball for Notre Dame and Arizona State, so, my assumption is that getting tossed out of games is something he did from time to time. He got his money’s worth here.

It cost the Brewers a run, but it didn’t cost them the game. Besides a Kolton Wong home run, the Brewers didn’t have much from their offense.
