Sometimes I hear his voice just (barely) before I hear the pop of the ball in the catcher's mitt.

I thought he did a good job. But are you sure you were hearing the plate umpire? I thought I was hearing him all night long too -- just barely as you note -- except about the 5th inning I realized it wasn't the PU but the third base coach. He was calling all sorts of stuff over there -- fair/foul, ball/strike, etc. I thought all along it was the plate umpire.
