Two days in a row, a game has ended with a walk-off replay review.

Same umpire, both days.

Cory Blaser… what’s going on?

The Angels are so sure this call in RF is going to be overturned they're all walking off the field. — Brian McTaggart (@brianmctaggart) April 25, 2018

On Monday night, in Houston:

Bottom of the ninth, two outs.

Gurriel dashes to third on a pitch in the dirt, trying to advance. The catcher whips a throw down the line. Valbuena catches it, tags him.

And our man Cory Blaser settles into a crouch. Looking down at the tag. Peers as the glove, the hand.

He makes a call.

SAFE!

Valbuena makes a motion to challenge.

They challenge.

The umpires gather. Don their headsets.

“That’s not even close!” they say on the Angels’ telecast.

“How do miss that, if you’re Cory Blaser?”

And the umps come back with a verdict, announcing the end of the game:

“OUT.”

And it does. #Angels needed that 2-0 win over #Astros to get their edge back after brutal 1-5 homestand. — Mike DiGiovanna (@MikeDiGiovanna) April 24, 2018

It happens, Cory Blaser. It does.

But then you see this, an email from Dad.

“Third base ump who blew call right in front of him and got reversed to end game is same ump who blew call, again right in front of him, at home and got reversed to end cubs Rockies game. Got to be first time two games in a row end on blown/reversed call by same ump. Get that guy some glasses!”

You look up the video.

One day earlier. Ninth inning, two outs. Rockies vs Cubs.

Wild pitch, and Arenado sprints home from third…

And right there is our man. Cory Blaser. Staring at a glove and a foot and home plate.

“Safe!” he calls.

Then the challenge. The reversal. The game ending.

You check the box score, to be sure. This can’t be real.

Cory Blaser, two days in a row.

Blundering his way into a walk-off replay review for the away team.

And then you see he ejected two Cubs coaches, earlier in the game.

Andy Haines, spewing rage the umpire’s way in the form of a full cup of coffee.

So you’ve had a bad two days, Cory Blaser.

Pray that the masses never get word of this. Because they’ve been throwing their coffee cups for years now, this online mob of keeping-umpires-honest.

Hey @MLB how often do you drug test your umpires? Cory Blaser should be tested immediately #Cubs — Keith Ortlieb (@TorinoWNoWheels) April 22, 2018

Hey, Cory Blaser, you suck. You are second to only C.B. Bucknor in FAIL. Welcome to the Hall of Eric Gregg in my head. — Brad Shepard (@Brad_Shepard) July 1, 2017

Cory Blaser has got to be the blindest ump in MLB history! — Ducks (@DuckAHolicsYT) April 7, 2017

Not a great sequence for first base ump Corey Blaser. Overruled on back-to-back plays. — Peter Schmuck (@SchmuckStop) June 10, 2015

And now, for the coup de grâce. April 15, 2014:

Fuck you Corey Blaser you shitty ump your fucking garbage — Dead Account!!! (@Avi4013) April 16, 2014

We know what comes next.

Next game with Cory Blaser behind the plate.

The ballpark PA guy loads up “Three Blind Mice” on the speakers, and lets it sing.

Risk the ejection, my friend. You’ll go down as a legend.
