Bad inning for Papelbon. bad pitch selection. Too much offspeed s***, but he did have a couple of strikeout pitches that were not called and Pedroi did boot the game ending DP ball. Not all his fault.
I can see Paps frustration. All inning long that had been a ball. Now he calls it a strike when the inning would have been over if he had been calling that pitch. Then the ump confronts him when Paps had his back turned and was walking away. It's ********.
Well the is ********. The ump is squeezing him like crazy. All game long those pitches have been strikes. In the 9th the zone shrinks. Players hate that.
