The San Diego Padres were able to punch their ticket back to the postseason with a thrilling 5-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in 11 innings on Monday night. <\/p>\n
While the Padres had fun partying after the victory, during the game they were often frustrated by home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz. And for good reason, because the veteran umpire missed an astounding 25 calls. <\/p>\n
VERDUCCI: What is MLB’s New ABS Challenge System? Here’s everything you need to know.<\/a><\/p>\n Being an umpire at the highest level isn’t the easiest job in the world and mistakes are going to be made. But 25!? That’s ridiculous.<\/p>\n Here is a collection of Ortiz’s bad calls, which hurt both teams throughout the night: <\/p>\n Umpire Roberto Ortiz missed 25 calls in the Brewers Padres game pic.twitter.com\/yHbAxHc2M6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Umpire Auditor (@UmpireAuditor) September 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n That is a brutal look for the league, especially since this is the final week of the regular season and there was so much on the line for the Padres. <\/p>\n MLB fans sounded off on Ortiz’s performance: <\/p>\n This can’t happen in a game that actually has playoff implications for both teams.
