If any of you were watching the Astros/Cardinals game, homeplate umpire Phil Cuzzi called a noticeably inside pitch a strike on Jim Edmons. Instead of ball four--first and second two out, the count was run full. Edmonds complained and Cuzzi proceded to eject him with a 3-2 count remaining. His replacement ended the inning on a long drive to CF for an out.

 

How did FOX react to this situation? Well, after the announcers criticized the umpire for removing Edmonds and calling an inside pitch a strike, they MOVED ON the following inning. No talks about controversy, and no zapruder-esque fascination with the play.

 

After enduring the crap Buck and McCarver have put us through, FOX upheld it's integrity.

I enjoy listening to Brennamen or however the hell u spell it, I really do. What you're speaking of he gave both sides to the story and just handled the situation nicely and didn't talk about it for days. Props to him.

Please don't let this game go into extras. I've waited all day for the Sox game, I'm not about to miss any of it.

f***in' awesome. No extras.

Fox's second team is the best announcing duo in baseball.
