I didn't watch the entire game but I did see the at bat Chipper talked about. I thought the pitch was up and in.
Must be just me but I still don't like the high strike they try to get called, its just not consistent game to game no matter how hard they try.
Generally, Reed is not one of the better ball and strike umps - haven't see the charts this year where the players rate the umpires but if I remember right he's usually not at the top of the list.
