Carlos Rodon's wife blasts umpires for 'absolutely horrendous' Yankees calls

Carlos Rodon’s wife, Ashley, expressed what many Yankees fans felt.

She criticized the umpires overseeing the Yankees-Astros series following another round of contentious calls during the Yankees’ 8-4 victory on Thursday night in Houston, where her husband, Carlos, secured the win.

“The zone is absolutely horrendous the entire series,” Rodon posted on X. “GESH.”

Carlos navigated a debatable strike zone from home plate umpire Adrian Johnson over six innings, surrendering only two runs (one earned) on three hits.

Beyond the strike zone, there was another umpire decision that made the Yankees irate.

In the sixth inning, while Carlos was pitching, Jose Altuve hit a gentle liner to third base that Ryan McMahon seemed to catch before losing it while transferring.

But third base umpire Brian Walsh — the villain of Wednesday’s loss — ruled that McMahon never secured the ball and that there was no catch.

The ruling eventually helped the Astros score one run to cut the Yankees’ lead to 4-2.

A night prior, Walsh was behind the plate and his strike zone incensed reliever Devin Williams and manager Aaron Boone.

Walsh called multiple pitches that appeared to be in the zone balls in the eighth inning, as Williams allowed the Astros to take the lead in an eventual 8-7 loss.

Williams shouted toward Walsh as he was walking back to the dugout after being taken out of the game, and Walsh subsequently ejected him.

That prompted Boone to argue with Walsh, and after being ejected himself, Boone unloaded on Walsh.

Jazz Chisholm later struck out looking on a pitch that was outside the zone to end the game, leading him to also argue with Walsh.

“When you’re making good pitches, which I was, not getting those calls really changes the course of an at-bat,” Williams said after the game. “I said, ‘I had four that you missed,’ and he threw me out for it. Never been ejected in my career. … It’s just ridiculous. Jazz got the pitch taken out of his hands on a pitch that was a lot further from the zone than pitches I was making.”
