I'm not saying it was only the Red Sox who got screwed. But to have a pitch like that, albeit a consistent call, decide the at bat in the situation it occurred is nothing short of outrageous. You can only adjust to a strike zone to a certain degree. This guy's strike zone was way too large. The Yankees couldn't adjust, and the Red Sox couldn't adjust. That's why the game was decided by a f***ing nubber by Giambi. It also doesn't help that the Sox are a team that practice patience at the plate. They get royally screwed when an umpire like tonight's pulls this s***.
And it wasn't "a bit inside", it was about 10-12 inches inside. Pedroia's play looked like a tie, and Melky looked out after watching replay. They were both incredibly close plays, but those are irrelevant anyway. We're talking about the strike zone.
