For all of the talk about the ABS system making its way to MLB games, the Giants certainly benefited from its absence in their 10-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday at Citizens Bank Park.
Home plate umpire Tony Randazzo fell victim to Giants catcher Patrick Bailey's elite framing skills in the bottom of the seventh inning, calling Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto out on strikes with runners on first and second and Philadelphia trailing 8-4. Unfortunately for the Phillies, Erik Miller's slider was almost in the other batter's box and should have been called ball four.

Only time will tell if Randazzo takes up the company's offer. But the Giants and Miller certainly weren't complaining after improving to 12-4 on the 2025 MLB season following the questionable call in a big spot on Monday.
