It was a real shame seeing both pitchers squeezed by Cousins last night. Derryl must think the knee is mid-thigh.
I like a batter's reaction after a high curve was called a strike. Replay shows the ball landing in the mitt low in the zone. The announcer stated it curved into the zone after it passed the plate (Chuckles). Cousins was money on that outside strike late in the game w/ intense pressure on each pitch. It was a good game.

You're right, he was squeezing them at the knees but at least he was consistent.
Except pitchers like Halladay and Lincecum live on that dart at the knee. Take that away from them and they become very average.
I thought he gave a lot more on the outside early in the game, too.

Phillies lose the NL series on the same call Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay has been calling strikes all season.
