Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez was irate after a controversial call to end the team's game against the Houston Astros on Wednesday.
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez argues with umpires after the final play of the Astros game, Wednesday, June 14, 2023, in Houston.
With the bases loaded, Astros batter Jake Meyers grounded the ball to shortstop C.J. Abrams, who threw it home for the second out. Ruiz tried to turn the double play to end the inning but his throw went off Meyers’ helmet. The ball went awry and allowed Abreu to score. Martinez argued the final play with the umpires but to no avail. He claimed Meyers was out of the baseline. After the game, he started his postgame media availability by holding up a pictured that showed Meyers running on the grass on his way to first base.

Is that on the line? I don’t think so. I’m over this play. Seriously. They need to fix the rule. If this is what the umpire sees that he’s running down the line, I’m tired of it. I’m tired of it. Fix it.
Meyers said he ran up the line and collided with first baseman Matt Chavis’ glove, adding that he was touching the base.
