Tonight's Umpire
just rang a FLA batter up looking, the catcher "stuck" the pitch.
WA catcher just tried to "pull" one back, BALL.
He looks like he's 6-foot plus so he can see better over the top even though he is working the slot. His head height is better. So he has better view/command of the SZ.
Last night was more guess work and bad guess work at that, especially low corners. The catcher told you they were BALLS that were being called strikes--camera angle is a smokescreen. She should have been told to simply "stick" the strikes. If you pull it back-it's a BALL. All day. That's umpiring 101. And Catching 101 for that matter.
