Golson blown call didn't matter, but today, a blown call changes the game in Tampa Bay. Michael Young struck out, but the ump erroneously called it a check swing, and Young hit a three run jack on the next pitch.
It never ceases to amaze me when I look at the Yankees' lineup and see our DH (whoever it might be at the time) hitting eighth.
Pavano did not face the Yankees this season. 2009: Regular season: 13.1 IP, 11 H, 4 R, 1BB, 8 K playoffs: 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 9 K
Looks like Pavano has the stuff tonight to take advantage of the ridiculous strike zone this ump has given him.
After getting dozens of gifts all night, a strike call finally goes against Pavano and Gardenhire snaps. Scumbag. :lol:
that pitch clearly hit the inside corner, and like the Michael Young thing, Berkman took advantage of the extra opportunity.
