An MLB pitcher has a bad game and five consecutive calls are turned into ABS

An MLB umpire had five calls in a row overturned by the automated hitting system during Tuesday's Pirates-Red Sox spring training game in Fort Myers, Florida.

And you thought you had a rough day at the office.

The referee made five consecutive calls with the automatic goal-scoring system during the Pirates-Red Sox Grapefruit League spring training game in Fort Myers, Fla.

Home plate umpire Mitch Tshetiak must have been red-faced when a number of his calls were challenged and overturned.But later, when the ABS supported one call, he earned himself a sarcastic standing ovation.

It started in the first inning when Pirates catcher Endy Rodriguez challenged a ball call by Carmen Mlozinski, and an ABS review clearly showed that the ball was a strike and went essentially straight down the middle.

Former NESN player Tom Caron couldn't help but point out the obvious mistake, saying, "And this one, almost right in the middle."

Caron continued to point out the difficult day Trzeciak had during the broadcast.

"You missed two, and one was right in the middle, and one was a couple inches out, and you're like, 'Well, I'm having a bad day, and everyone knows it,'" Caron said later in the broadcast.

In the end, a Triple-A umpire who had a chance to call a big league game had five of Trzeciak's calls overturned by the trial system before the third inning.

But the calls weren't the only weird thing that happened in Tuesday's game.

Red Sox outfielder Willier Abreu got a bit of a surprise when he broke his bat in the bottom of the fourth inning on a fringe swing.

Abreu didn't make contact with the ball, but a large part of his bat flew away, leaving him with a small part.

The Pirates beat the Red Sox 16-7 in an exhibition game.
