To with both of those called strikes to Carter bell were clearly balls (first on was way inside the second one was way outside) which even with the top down view we can see.

True
But at the same time that is way it will be most likely from now on! It is post-season, nothing should come easy right? We knew they had the bats, and wow who would have thought the Beavs would put that kind-of of offensive game in today against what I read was suppose to be one of the best, if not the best, pitcher in this regional.
Damn what a game!
Win is more than a win now really, it is the season.
-RVM
It was funny though
I was in a slight way glad the HR cleared the bases for then he had only the batter to worry about with two outs. Instead of bases loaded with all kinds of possibilities and pressure from the runners behind him going on.
