‘Zero Accountability’- the Captain Director Who Engineered Derek Jeter’s Sporting Journey, Blames Umpire for NY Yankees Defeat Against Minnesota Twins

Published 09/09/2022, 8:00 AM EDT

New York Yankees missed an opportunity to sweep the Minnesota Twins. Had it not been for the poor umpiring, the Pinstripes may have swept the Twins in the four-game series. However, the Yanks still won the series 3-1 against the Twins.

The Yankees v/s Twins series was probably the best thing that happened for the Aaron Boone-led team in the last few weeks. For the first time after the All-Star break, the Yankees looked confident in the second half. Notably, the Aaron Boone-led team has been extremely poor before the Twins series.

However, the Pinstripes fans are still upset over the poor umpiring in the last game of the series. Even ‘The Captain’ director, Randy Wilkins, expressed his disappointment over the umpires’ decision.

Did the umpires cost a series sweep to the New York Yankees?

Not only for the Yankees, but the umpiring has become a serious issue for every MLB franchise this season. During the fourth game of the series, an on-field umpire called a Twins batter safe after a review.

At that time, the scores were equal for both sides, and the game could have gone into the Yankees’ hands. But the Twins won the game ultimately.

Taking to Twitter, Randy Wilkins, who directed Derek Jeter’s docuseries, expressed his disappointment. He clearly said that the umpires cost the game for the Yanks.

The umps cost the Yankees that game. I almost never blame an outcome on them but that was the case tonight. And there is zero accountability.

With 55 home runs already hit, Judge is the favorite to win the American League MVP this year. If things go his way, the Yankees slugger has a fine chance to hit the most home runs in a single season in the AL.
