All three were balls
I thought a strike had to cover any white portion of the plate. All three of these pitches never hit any white portion of the plate. Most of you state that the first one was or could be called a strike or that if it is hittable it is a strike. Is a hittable ball a strike? It is easy to see from this view but the PU view is a little different. If they are hittable I guess all three are strikes. That is a big hitter with a big bat, I assume the PU thought the same thing, "Just hit the dang thing man"! If it were me and with my lean experience and 50ish eyes I would have 2 balls and 1 stike on the batter, on a good day.

I'm sorry, but we're not from the same part of the world when it comes to the art of batting. It's a great deal more complex than that. |

Wouldn't need my batting instructor, athletic trainer, physical therapist, phsycologist and agent/lawyer or six pairs of gloves either. Complex my arse!!!! |
I find it incredible that somehow this board survived its first eight years and two months.:D

Maybe the batter thought, hmm I guess that was a strike(or he usually takes the first pitch) Then, wow...that seemed outside. Then the last one was preposterous. You are actually blaming a batter for not arguing balls and strikes? The batter deserved to be 3-0 or at worst 2-1. That umpire is awful. |
