I believe that it was a strike but most of us will not call this pitch because the catcher catches it so low but when I see this pitch I have called it for strikes but hear nothing but grief so I have been trying to hold back on this call but you know your first instinct is to call how you see it. Just wondering your thoughts on this one.
Thanks Mike

Darling flinched bigtime on that pitch, and also made a couple of surprising strike calls on very low pitches previously in the game. Other than those few, he had a good steady zone.
It's all about timing, and as Darling proved last night, even the best sometimes get off the program.
