Ever see a walkoff strikeout?

Posted by Steve

Please, Bill Welke, don’t keep us from starting your 4th of July Weekend early.

Nothing like losing to the Cubs.  Better yet is losing to the Cubs on a lousy call.  Mark DiFelice struck out Jake Fox with the bases loaded, but instead Welke called it a ball and the Brewers lost a heartbreaker.

Should make for a fun 4th of July weekend.

In case you’re wondering, pitch 9 is the one he called a ball.  Yet another reason for electronic strike zones.  Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait until this happens to the Yankees, Red Sox or ironically, Cubs for it to get enough national attention.  I look forward to the day it finally happens.
