Johan Rojas Questions the Umpiring in the Game between Gigantes and Licey<\/h2>\n\n\nSanto Domingo \u2013 Giants of Cibao outfielder Johan Rojas has sparked a heated debate after expressing his dissatisfaction with the umpiring crew of the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM), following his team’s 5-4 loss to the Tigres del Licey.\n\nThe controversy arose after a game marked by tension at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium. Rojas, through his social media, questioned key umpiring decisions that, according to him, harmed his team.\n\nThe player reacted to a play in the ninth inning where Mel Rojas Jr. was initially called out at the plate. However, after a review requested by the Licey manager, Gilbert G\u00f3mez, the decision was changed to safe due to obstruction by the catcher, which allowed a crucial run for the Tigres.\n\n\n

In the Lidom, what they have is a mess with those umpires, go see the two plays, one of them and one of us. If the Lidom doesn’t do something about the umpires and the umpires who review the plays, Licey will always be winning in everything because these umpires put everything in favor of Licey. Whoever is going to play against Licey has to beat Licey, the four umpires, and the two more umpires who are in review.<\/p>Johan Rojas<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nRojas also pointed out another play in which Licey’s catcher, Michael de la Cruz, apparently blocked home plate, but it was not reviewed or considered obstruction.\n\nThe disparity between both decisions has raised questions about the consistency of the review system and the interpretation of the obstruction rule.\n\nLicey defended the revised decision, arguing that the regulations are clear in establishing that any block without possessing the ball constitutes obstruction.\n\nThe defeat, combined with the refereeing controversy, increases frustration at a crucial moment of the regular season for the Giants.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
