No question. Hanrahan f***ed up large.
But to me it's two separate things. The ump blew a call that would have ended the game with us winning. Most of the time that gets called a strike. He had already called a worse pitch a strike in the same at-bat. It irks me.
Horrible blown save by Hanrahan. Also horrible blown call by the ump on McLouth. Hanrahan struck him out to end the game and the ump blew it. MLB Gameday clearly shows that pitch #5 called a ball was better than pitch #1 called a strike. Clear, indisputable evidence that the ump f***ed us.
I went to a school where you could buy a Doubie for a Buch, out by the Dumpster. Of course you had to keep an eye out, Lestah cop or school Lackey be on patrol. :joke:
Fluid situation I would say. If Drew doesn't play well the clamor for Iggy will be swift and deafening. If he does play well there's a controversy a'brewing.
His OPS for last 5 years:
2008 877
2009 794
2010 899
2011 953
2012 1026
His only really bad year was 2009. And that was mainly the first half. That's not really that much of a regression compared to the off-years some hitters have.
