Did anyone see this game and the unusal amount of missed ball and strike calls for the PU? Yes I no that even at the MLB level, mistakes are made however this plate umpire seemed as though he was having a bad day. Especially when he called Ortiz out on a foul tip that was at best 8 inches from his bat. He was probably out on the check swing if anything, but to be that dramatic on trying to sell the call that wasn't even close, really made him look bad.
I realize the the pressures of being behind the plate for that type of game, (then again mabey I don't), however I just felt that the plate umpire was not having a good game considering the quality of official I expect would be selected for those games.
Just my opinion.
