Wow couldnt see that on Gamecast....at work. That fucking sucks!
The 2 and 2 pitch was perfect right down the middle. Pierzynski the catcher did not argue.
That made the count 3 and 2.
The next pitch was a ball for a walk.
Once that happened Pierzynski turned around and calmly told the ump the 2 and 2 was right down the middle(which it was) and the ump instantly threw him out the game.
The ump is being an idiot.
#1 it was a strike.
#2 you dont throw out a catcher in the middle of a game when the pitcher has a no hitter going.
It disrupts everything.
