I think you guys are missing the point here. Again, not to beat a dead horse, but whether or not the pitch was caught is NOT the issue. A poor mechanic was the cause of the entire fiasco. If Eddings reacts the way he is supposed to on a potential third strike not legally caught, the whole contraversy never occurs. Close plays will always be a part of sports - the key is how they are handled by the officials. I'm sure Eddings will make some adjustments next year.
