I think it was, but it carried at the end, and Span just ran out of room. It's unusual to see a ball hit that high in the air and have it hit off the wall (the scoreboard in this case). But in any case, Sterling belong in the Hall of Worst Announcers in the History of Mankind, so I don't want to make excuses for him. He just cannot recognize what is happening on the field.
CC walks in the tying run. Went to 3-0 on Kubel, threw a strike, and then walked him. Every pitch other than the 3-0 pitch was a breaking ball down and away well out of the zone. Then he walked Valencia on four pitches.
given his postseason track record, you have to trust him, but he did not look dominant at all down the stretch. Marked difference between the early months and August and September.
Can you imagine the windfall? It seems as if they wait til the playoffs to make these ridiculous calls...wtf
