The Difference A Call Can Make
It's amazing how one call can change a game. Just look at Game of the NLCS, where one call of a ball over a strike might have changed the game.Roy Halladay was pitching. He thought he had strike three. Instead, the ump called a ball, and I'm not going to nitpick over a couple inches. But instead of an out, Halladay had to throw another pitch, and it was crushed for an RBI double. The Giants added another one. Instead of potentially being out of the inning down 2-1, the Phillies trailed 4-1, and lost 4-3. I'm not blaming the ump at all. But it was interesting how one ball/strike call can potentially change the way a game plays out.
