Bigger wow is that he got a hit while cracking his bat.
Have I mentioned yet that I hate ballparks that give away gimmicks for fan participation? Noise makers, towels and such. Good fans know when to make noise.
You know this whole October, with the Sox cruise controlling through playoffs and the Yankee "Empire" a clown circus, is really getting to Yankee fans when they feel a need to come piss in the punch bowl.
How do you miss that call from that angle? He waited for Yorvit to tag him, meaning he thought Manny missed the bag. From his angle is was clear as day. I hate these umps and their theatric calls. You aren't the show, douchebags.
Hawpe's high step has him behind the FB. Has been all series. I can't believe he's hung around this long with that kind of flaw. Me must feast on the Fogg and Byrd types.
Dice's FB looks good. He needs to keep pumping gas on the corners and mix in the change to keep them honest. The breaking stuff should be 3rd option in the thin air.
Hideki Jr got tooled. Matsuzaka fields his position rather well.
