Ozzie Guillen Critiques Umpire After Loss

After the Chicago White Sox's 9-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, Ozzie Guillen, the team's TV analyst and former manager, unleashed a tirade against home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt. Following a series of controversial strike calls, interim manager Grady Sizemore and outfielder Andrew Benintendi were ejected from the game for arguing with Wendelstedt. Guillen vented his frustrations during the postgame show, stating, "I wish I punched him in the face" and criticizing Wendelstedt's appearance and performance. This loss marked the White Sox's 12th straight defeat, leaving them with a dismal record of 31-109, on pace to break the modern-era record for losses in a season. Guillen's comments highlighted the overall frustration surrounding the team's performance and the umpire's calls, which he deemed unacceptable. The White Sox continue to struggle as they approach the end of a historically poor season.
