The ump behind the plate must have a hot date to get to.

Game day had it much closer than I thought it was. Missed regardless.

Catcher stole the strike. Caught it low, quickly lifted the glove. Ump went for it.

Game day had it in the zone. The crime was letting Valdez hit for himself when you have 3 outs left.
