But I do know this. The previous pitch (2-1) was an obvious strike that was called Ball Three. The catcher Ausmus quickly came up like he was going to throw to first base and Cuzzi seemed to lose his balance, stumbled a bit. I was really surprised that it was a ball and I was even more surprised that Fox didn't show the replay as part of the spectacle that followed.

If the best place to call balls and strikes was from a video monitor in the press box that's where the PU would be. The angle shown on TV is not the best one to judge balls and strikes. The don't call it "The best seat they have in the house but you have to stand" for nothing.
