I saw several pitches from the game last night. Two of the pitches were clearly strikes that Chipper looked at and it appeared he was not happy with. There was one that was very close, but if you want to watch pitches, you put it in the hand of the umpire to make a judgment. He even walked on a pitch that was very close and the umpire balled that I think could have easily been called a strike.

The problem with a lot of players is they want someone to help them out. If you do not want to be called for a strike, swing the damn bat. Not all pitches are going to be right down the middle so you can drive them out of the park.

Peace
