IIRC, that was '99, mostly that hey used him a bit for the closer. Wakefield had a decent year this year but the strike zone typically shrink in the post-season. If it's too windy in CLE it probably won't be a good night, either.

They were just saying on WEEI that the home plate umpire has one of the larger strike zones in the league, so there's that.

 

Gooooooooo for the sweep Tribe!

It's a little late for the sweep, as the Red Sox won game 1.

This is good for Wakefield as long as the umpire can remain consistent. I realize there's a different ump tonight behind home plate, but last night was pitiful. The strike zone was really all over the place. I was incredulous watching some of the same pitches/location going for strikes being called balls later (and vice versa). I'm not blaming the umpire for the loss, but there's legitimate complaint to be made for the way he called the game- from both teams.

someone tell Cleveland fans that throwing balls back after home runs is freakin' asinine.

That was one of the first things that made me think that maybe Cubs fans aren't as bright as other fans.

*ahem* it's Buehrle ;)

 

Well, seeing as I hate the Red Sox almost as much as the Cubs - it's more a matter of rooting against, than rooting for.....sorry :hmm

 

Though at the end of the day, I really don't care.
