I’ll stay out of the Hicks debate as that is above my couch coaches pay grade. But I will say that either that HPU is crooked or the most incompetent person seen in that position in many years. Crooked – I doubt as he was pretty bad to both teams but he really pulled a lot of calls out of his derriere. In summary, he forwarded the case for electronic strike zone by at least two years. At one point Fox even dropped putting the strike box on the screen and I was thinking that MLB had called and asked for mercy…..but it did appear again later.
I like that the boys showed some spunk to come from behind but they sure missed some great chances in that first inning. Take a day off guys and come back fired up to beat the worst team in baseball a couple of times.
