Two good calls from Angel.

Pitch 4 is what Black was arguing...clearly an incorrect 'ball' call. He wouldn't be arguing a call that went in favour of his team! Challenge.

This ruling has been challenged and is under review.

What homers those announcers are.

Angel should take his naps before games, not during. In his first plate job of the year a couple weeks ago in Toronto, he balled a Twin's pitch that had literally split the strike zone. Astonishing at this level.

The pitch seems fairly close, but on video replay the catcher does appear to catch the pitch outside the zone. There are certainly plenty of times that pitch would be called strike.

I haven't watched the whole series. Dick Enberg seemed to indicate that this had building the whole series, while Mark Grant waited til the end to say something. Either way, everyone knows what happens when you argue balls and strikes.

The game recap does make a point of showing Bud Black complaining about earlier pitches.
