Kalapse Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Erstad broke straight back on the Sizemore fly out then regrouped quickly and made the play. He also just broke in on the last fly out then regrouped with a few steps backwards. I don't know if I should be encouraged that he's breaking the wrong way initially but is still regrouping in time to make the play or if I should be worried since he's getting poor initial reads.

CWSGuy406 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 On a cold day, you figured the ump would have a more 'lenient' (sp?) strike zone. Guess not... At least he's consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan79 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well at least the ump is going both ways with the strike zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Podsednik takes a walk, with Martinez and Westbrook wondering where the last pitch was. Sounds like it's at least being tight both ways, although Farmer was wondering about 1 of those 2 strikes and why it was called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the guy running Gameday is making some sort of commentary on the pitch calling. I've never actually seen Gameday do this either.
