GREAT point!
The pitch was a great pitcher's pitch, which several years back, hitters knew they had to swing at or walk away. Now, it's usually a ball because of the strike zone technology that's employed on almost every telecast, and the resultant scrutiny of the umpiring on gray area strikes. So now, when that pitch is called, hitters go off. Manny's zone knowledge and discipline are almost as good as there is, but if he takes a chance by looking at a pitch like that, he needs to shut the eff up and walk away.
Todd Helton fouls that off.
