Aaron Judge's Historic Ejection Stirs Debate on Umpire Accountability

Yankees captain Aaron Judge's first career ejection during a game against the Tigers has reignited discussions on umpire performance and the need for systemic reforms.

The ejection occurred after Judge disputed a strike call by umpire Ryan Blakney, marking his first ejection in 870 games.
Yankees players and fans expressed frustration, spotlighting ongoing concerns over umpire accountability and accuracy.
Proposals for reform include implementing an electronic strike zone and a system for demoting underperforming umpires.
Despite the controversy, the Yankees secured a 5-3 victory, with significant contributions from Anthony Rizzo.
The incident has prompted calls for MLB to enhance transparency and ensure umpires can be held accountable for critical decisions.
