I am curious to know what happened earlier in the game between Molina and Rob Drake? This seemed to be an FU kind of call. The pitch wasn't even close. Players have a great view of the inside corner and Molina knew that pitch wasn't a strike. Doesn't give him any cause to do what he did mind you, but there seems to be something else going on there. If you look at the pitch tracker in the replay, even it had the pitch as way off the plate.
MLB umpires don't miss an easy inside corner fastball like that for no reason. Anyone see the game and know what kind of back story there is...

At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know. ~Socrates
