    A horrendous strike call from an umpire had Patrick Wisdom and Giants announcers in disbelief

    The reaction from Wisdom was justified and the Giants booth was mystified. But there you have it.

    Congratulations to Gonzalez joining some other umpires — including the now-retired Angel Hernandez — who made some similarly bad calls this year.

    Here’s that moment from Monday’s game:
