Everyone had something to say about Tuesday’s controversial call during Game 6 of the World Series, including Kate Upton.
The 27-year-old supermodel, who is married to Astros ace Justin Verlander, weighed in after Nationals shortstop Trea Turner was ruled out for interfering with a throw from Houston reliever Brad Peacock in the seventh inning.
“He wasn’t within the base path,” Upton posted on Twitter, along with a photo of the infield. “Those who don’t know the rule you HAVE to run inside the 2 lines. Not sure why the review is taking so long…”
The call was upheld after a lengthy delay, but the Nationals went on to win 7-2 and force a Game 7 on Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park. It was a disappointing night for Verlander, who started the game and allowed three runs over five innings.
Verlander is now 1-4 this postseason with a 4.33 ERA. After throwing 93 pitches on Tuesday night, it is unlikely he will have a role in the deciding game.
And while Upton will likely be watching the game from the stands, it appears she also won’t hesitate to call out her critics.
“I LOVE talking about sports and reading all of the dumb misogynist comments. It reminds me that women need to keep fighting for equality. It’s 2019 but feels like the 1950s. #feminist,” she tweeted.
