I really don't want to belabor the LL bashing that's been going on lately on this board, but I watched that game and the PU was driving me nuts.
His strike zone was inconsistent. He was definitely sqeezing Pimentel.
What the hell kind of plate stance was that anyway. He would squat down with his body straight up like he had a pole up his whazoo.
And he signaled strikes/outs like a freaking SOFTBALL UMPIRE!!!
And how could six umpires on a small diamond miss the fact that the ball hit about two feet up the screen on the foul pole. GEEZ!
And "that's a strike" is just unnecessary.

It is only too likely that neither of us has any knowledge to boast of; but he thinks that he knows something which he does not know, whereas I am quite conscious of my ignorance. At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
