Gameday thought it caught the edge.

You usually don't get that call though if the catcher has to reach for it and drops the ball.

I can see Brandon Hyde pushing the right buttons.

[Rbiggs2525]

Not opposed to Mounty because this is huge momentum.

I saw that too. Auto strike zone would have called that a strike.

No respect for cowser. Mounty has been seriously struggling. 

[TopGunnar]

Good job Hyde. Get Cowser out of the game

Because I have noticed especially with fielding that many of the prospect writers tend to be wildly wrong.  Many called Gunnar passable at best at SS.  Years ago when Arenado came up, there were questions of whether he could play third.  I would like to know who is actually accurate. 

Oh so you don't just want to Gotcha! them.

That's cool.

I think it's really hard thing for them to do and don't expect them to hit on every player.

Thhhheeeee Skaneeeees lose

[Mooreisbetter27]

Welp there goes that inning. 

[Billy F-Face3]

Dang. Good try on the matchup but didn't work out the way we hoped.

[dystopia]

Hyde needs to get run. Diaz may single handedly cost us this game.

So we should should expect the Ump to make a mistake that favors our team?

If it caught the edge, it should be a strike.

It certainly doesn't look like an egregious call.

Didn't like removing Cowser from the game there.

Which is fine.  But it also don't miss the Kremer call right before the 3 run bomb.

But a dropped ball by the catcher doesn't usually get the call.
