I encourage you to register a name...@Anon 12:13pm,<br /><br />I encourage you to register a name. You have admonished me behind vail for calling McClendon a Rat. While you may not like the term, really your problem is, you have no idea "how" and "why" I'm using it. I won't explain it to you, but I suggest less than 10% of the posters on this site WILL understand it either, so your in the majority. I think only ex-pro's will understand it, heck that's where I got it from.<br />BAPAcop cited the reason why I called him a rat.<br /><br />Jerry is correct on the ejection, McClendon is a jerk, everybody knows it. Listen, there's no need to tell me I'm wrong as these are my opinions. Opinions cannot be right or wrong, there opinions, you can disagree.<br /><br />It is a joke to think Jerry has to be 100% correct on every pitch. He's human, it's impossible! Good players know this, it's been part of the game for 150yrs. To look at Pitch F/x and judge Jerry is even a bigger joke.<br /><br />If you told me build a table and only gave me the wood, nails, and a hammer, I could do it. It would be pretty level, nothing would roll off the table. And then if you came over and brought a laser level and tested it, I would say that's unfair and call you MLB, becasue that's exactly what they are doing.Big Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059152139707572715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-72114451746685640092012-05-25T02:40:57.913-07:002012-05-25T02:40:57.913-07:00I'm getting an error message from the embed vi...I'm getting an error message from the embed video, and the link takes me to a video that is an advertisement for Google Drive.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04227950154076067364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-54753324320233986502012-05-25T01:40:28.998-07:002012-05-25T01:40:28.998-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Big Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059152139707572715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-43201563511339651312012-05-24T21:11:48.175-07:002012-05-24T21:11:48.175-07:00I've added a link in addition to the embed; if...I've added a link in addition to the embed; if you're receiving an error message from the player, perhaps the Docs/Drive direct link will work.

The earlier pitch that he called against Cabrera was outside AND absolutely butchered by F2. The later pitch to Lopez was outside but framed perfectly yet Meals balled it.
