Altuve thinks he drew a walk on a 3 - 2 pitch, and started to happily run down the line, but
the ump called it strike three.
Not exact matches
Like pitchers hitting and
umps calling balls and
strikes.
If the
ump doesn't
call it a
strike, it officially isn't.
Still, through Sunday, none of the reinstated
umps — a group that includes veterans Drew Coble, Frank Pulli, Terry Tata and Joe West — was any closer to
calling balls and
strikes than before the ruling.
There are a number of
umps who tend to favor pitchers on borderline
calls and my hypothesis was that Phil Cuzzi, Ron Kulpa, Bill Miller, Ted Barret and Doug Eddings — who are renowned for having the largest
strike zones in baseball — would be among the most profitable umpires for betting unders.
the catcher always keeps this circumstance to allow the
ump the best look at the plate and hopefully a
strike call.
Joc Pederson just
struck out on a pitch he instantly regretted not swinging at, or he's mad at the
ump for
calling a
strike a
strike.
I still feel it is unprofessional for an
ump to
call an obvious
strike — a ball — because a guy is «showing him up».
