This was in the bottom of the 5th. Barksdale was booed on every pitch for 2 more innings. Funny as hell.
The replay I just saw told me one of two things: either the hand went entirely over the plate and missed it entirely, or he lifted it up before it had crossed the plate fully. I wish I had a better angle.
