Landen Roupp criticizes seventh-inning call after Giants' loss to Royals

Landen Roupp of the San Francisco Giants expressed frustration over a controversial call during the seventh inning that contributed to the team’s 5-4 loss against the Kansas City Royals. The ruling involved shortstop Willy Adames, who was determined to have pushed a Royals runner off the bag, a decision Roupp deemed 'a pretty bad call.' Despite this moment affecting team momentum, Roupp noted it did not alter his focus on the mound, as he acknowledged a critical pitch that shifted the inning's direction. Roupp emphasized his improvement in execution and confidence following earlier inconsistencies this season, highlighting the need for the Giants to move past unfortunate moments and play better baseball overall.
