What a whiny article that was. FTC indeed.

ETA: that was far from the worst call I have seen.

That "strike" was fucking egregious though.

Is was bad, but we see its equal or worse regularly.

It was a bad call, but light years from being the worst call ever, or even this year, or even this week, or even yesterday.  Josh Reddick regularly suffers far more egregious calls.  Every game. 
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

What did Josh do for all umpires to have such a vendetta against him? I've never seen someone get fucked by umpires as consistently as he does

You may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"
