So far as I know, FoxSports never ran a replay of that first pitch to Stephen Drew. I thought the ump called it a strike. Anyone see a replay or have it on tape?
I noticed right away that he did not call it a strike, but was motioning that it was inside. He has a very loud and distinct strike call, both verbal and hand signal, which he did not do. I think the hand motion is what confused everyone to think he called it a strike, which it was, he missed the pitch. Having followed the team for so long, I thought for sure the collapse was coming for sure after that, we'd lose the game, and go 1-5 on the road trip
Thanks for that link. The funniest line in there, to me, was this one (following Phillips hustling over to 3rd when Young nonchalanted the ground single):
I think Hinch should hand out notepads to all of the players and they should take notes every time they see the other team do something good.
I posted this early in the thread.....this is what he told the Dbacks announcers about his lineup
It's gets funnier every time I read it.AJ Hinch sounds overmatched as a major league manager.
"Wanted to put a left handed catcher in the 2 hole to give the pitcher a different look"
Huh?
