Pitch #5 split the plate between the knees and the belt. A ball? What a joke.

 

Agreed, but considering the way Cash caught it, that's a pretty tough call for the umpire.

I like being pleasantly surprised when it comes to guys who are not in the 3-4-5 roles in the order. Those guys must produce. The other guys need to be consistent' date=' which is why I like Swish so much. He's been consistent ever since he came to NY, and he shouldnt be leaving any time soon[/quote']

 

if you were girardi, would you send out mosley for the 6th?

If it's tough for an umpire to call a strike where that pitch was located, he shouldn't be an umpire. Period.

I don't think a single umpire calls that a strike. If you ask me, they should let computers call strikes and balls, because of pitches like that.

Ummm. Exactly.

 

The Ump is charged with calling where the ball crossed the plate (within the strike zone).

he doesn't have it tonight. now let's see how many runs tito will allow him to give up before he takes him out
He usually waits for 7 runs. It must be an OCD thing. Sparky Anderson would've pulled him after Hall's error.
