2-2 count, 2 outs in the 9th pinch hitter Tabata fouls off a few pitches then leans into a pitch he should've been called out but Mike Muchlinski is an idiot
In more ways than one. Pirates should've demoted him for doing that in a 6-0 game. Disgusting. He lied about it afterwards: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...-a-pitch-to-spoil-max-scherzers-perfect-game/ and http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4021552
It's so ridiculous. All these analysts and radio hosts saying, "oh he's trying to get on base to win the game!" My ass. It was 6-0 and you didn't have one base runner all game. The game was over. He clearly leaned into it I'm shocked that he didn't take on in the numbers in Sunday's game
in a 1-0 game they'd have a case 6-0 with 2 outs in the 9th you don't lean into a pitch to ruin a perfect game
