Did you watch the game, Markakis? I'm sure even you can admit how awful that umpire was...
If he wasn't acting so cocky and disrespecting the pitcher by walking out of the batters box when the throw was being pitched, he might of gotten the ball call.That video shows no lead-in on how bad that ump was calling strikes.
Isn't the top of the strike zone defined as "the horizontal line at the midpoint between the top of the batter's shoulders and the top of the uniform pants" and that "the strike zone shall be determined from the batter’s stance as the batter is prepared to swing at a pitched ball.”
So was it a strike?
Obviously not.It was a ball.
