DG,

I'm guessing the Toadman was referring to the situation when, with two strikes on a (LH iirc) batter, after the next pitch the Mexican catcher came out of his crouch and started to throw the ball down to F5. When he realized the umpire had not called the pitch a strike, he kind of gave him a little YGTBSM body language. Pitch didn't look close to a strike to me at the time.
