George Springer said what every Blue Jays fan thought about the Yankees after brutal call

"It all began in Kansas City a week ago when Nathan Lukes was robbed by the replay review room in New York, in two straight innings. The 20-minute sequence was as bizarre as it gets, and it marked the first recent incident that has left Jays fans scratching their heads. In the third, Brandon Lowe launched a three-run homer, which Lukes had timed up with a big leap at the wall. When he was on his way down, center fielder Myles Straw was waving to the Blue Jays' dugout, signalling a challenge. A fan had reached to make the catch too, but it looked like it most definitely got in the way of Lukes, who was also trying to get his glove on the ball."

""The ruling was that it was fan interference, but the ball would have been a home run anyway, so it's a home run," he announced over the loudspeakers. In the following inning, Lukes found himself launching one of his own, which was also reviewed for fan interference, but luckily this call favoured the Jays."

"The next instance of a poor decision made by the replay room, which resulted in Springer's recent quote from the dugout, was Daulton Varsho's non-catch a few days ago. This one seemed like one of the most ridiculous decisions after a video review of all time, and even Dan Shulman and Buck Martinez were at a loss for words. Varsho's diving catch looked like a sure out, but the replay room in New York deemed the play "a trap". "Terrible, absolutely terrible," Martinez said on the broadcast."

Multiple New York replay reviews produced controversial rulings that affected the Toronto Blue Jays. In Kansas City, Nathan Lukes was denied a home run in two straight innings after a 20-minute review that angered fans. A loudspeaker announcement ruled fan interference but kept the ball a home run; a later Lukes hit was reviewed and ruled in the Jays' favour. A separate review labeled Daulton Varsho's diving catch "a trap," drawing on-air criticism. George Springer reacted angrily in the dugout after the Varsho decision, reflecting broader frustration among players and supporters.
