Uh......? Top 4th, Cubs-Marlins, Eric Karros...

They gave him a walk, but I went over this with my tivo 3 times...the count should have been 3-2 (assuming fox did not mess up and not air one of the pitches). I have not heard any reference to this by the announcers, and no correction was made by the umpires. Any comments?

This was in the 3rd actually. He flew out in the 4th. MLB.com also has the game's action pitch-by-pitch. His at bat was strike-foul-foul-ball-ball-ball-ball.

Presumptuous assumption.

Whoops, sorry, it was Ramirez, who batted directly before Karros int he top of the 4th...MLB.com shows:

Pitch 1 - Ball
Pitch 2 - Ball
Pitch 3 - Foul
Pitch 4 - Foul
Pitch 5 - Foul
Pitch 6 - Ball
Pitch 7 - Ball

Anyone have this on tape that could check this? I could have sworn one of those balls was a called strike, which is also what fox's count showed at the top of the screen.
