The problem that I have with it is the consistency of the calls. One of the sports programs showed clips of two other dropped third strikes in the game. In both of those instances, Eddings didn't give his "hammer" signal until AFTER the catcher tagged the batter. In this instance, he gave the hammer signal right away, like he did after all his other swinging strikeouts. That is where the big confusion is coming from and where some people are saying they really don't believe what Eddings is saying about the situation.
