how is Mike Lowell still in this game?

[jwwashburn]

I have never seen a batter chew out an umpire about a called third strike this vociferously and not get dumped. He must have gone on more than 30 seconds with a "false ending"...took a couple of steps and came back yelling. How is he playing third base now? This was just weird.

Jeff Kellogg is the PU...I know he has been around a long while. I am amazed there was no ejection. Anybody have an idea? Is this Kellogg's common practice?

I too was astonished.

Kellogg reached down and off the plate for the strike, so maybe he sat on his thumb for that reason. It was quite a dose Lowell gave him.

You are assuming that you can tell it was out of the zone on the tv camera...of course, you cannot.

Even if it was the worst call of his career, how could he put up with that kind of crapola?

Nope, because Kellogg did not dump him.

Well, you could tell it was outside, and it sure looked low, too.

I know what you're saying, but that was a reach.
