Bryce Harper wasn’t happy after a strikeout on Sunday and let the umpire know about it. He had a legitimate beef with this terrible call.
Umpire C.B. Bucknor got confused by the Braves jerseys and thought Greg Maddox was back on the mound. He punched out Harper on a pitch that was pretty much in the other batter’s box.

I’m not a fan of an automated strike zone, but calls like this make it hard not to consider it.
