Lance Lynn returned to the Chicago White Sox rotation last week and quickly became Lance Lynn again. On Monday night, he was on the brink against the visiting Toronto Blue Jays and fell victim to one of the worst missed calls of the 2022 MLB season.
Vlad Guerrero Jr. came out on top of the six with a runner first and no outs. At 3-2, Lynn threw a throw right down the middle that should have been a strike three. It was not. Referee Ramon De Jesus missed this badly and Lynn was not happy, he scolded De Jesus afterwards.
Here’s the pitch and the aftermath:

Yes, he has a right to be angry, that’s one of the worst missed calls of the year. The Blue Jays went three runs in the inning and Lynn was drawn in favor of Reynaldo Lopez.
Luckily for Lynn, the White Sox still won 8-7 and he earned his first win of the season.
