Jim Palmer was pretty upset with the umpires in charge of the contest between the Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays on Wednesday and he took to social media to make his opinion heard.
The Hall of Fame pitcher, who spent his entire 19-year career with the Orioles, called the umpiring "disgraceful" on Twitter.
Palmer referenced the strike zone of home-plate umpire Lance Barksdale as his reason for being angry, as Blue Jays starter Francisco Liriano struck out 10 hitters across 6 1/3 innings of work.
The winner of 268 career games may have had a point, too.
