Close call on Unit's 300th

No doubt Tony. Look at the video:

Yup, he clearly picks up the front leg. Using that picture and acting like the front knee is the line is a bit of a fraud.

I was sitting on my couch in California, knowing that I was going to Phoenix to cover Units next game if he didn't get 300 in DC. I thought for sure I was going for a second, before that gift of a call.

Considering the strike zone actually starts at the hollow beneath the knee cap, the bottom line in the above picture is actually in the strike zone.

Furthermore, this is Adam Dunn we're talking about. He would have found a way to strike out in that at bat anyway.

That pitch was on a 3-2 count with the bases loaded in a 2-1 game with a reliever on the hill. If the pitch is called a ball, a run scores and Johnson doesn't get the win.

Damn, thanks Voodoo for letting us know that.




And here I thought that was the entire pupose of this thread.

If that pitch is called ball four I'm walking on that field and kicking the ump in the nuts. No way did I spend four hours the night before and three hours in the rain THAT day too to watch some no-name reliever **** up history against that horse **** team.

I was being flippant about Dunn finding a way to strike out </bitterredsfanboi>

Still, though, the pitch crossed the plate at the hollow of Dunn's knee. Good pitch. Good call. Strike three.
