Mortimer is your last name Snerd? Damn Dice K wasn't even close to the
strike zone.

I agree. Yes, a few close calls that might have been Ks on another
night, but no ump gives those to a guy who is so wild.

That said, West did screw over Joe Nelson, denying him a strike 3
call, which was followed by a double by David DeJesus that drove in
what turned out to be the winning run. That pitch called a ball was in
the center of the plate and the center of high/low and was called a
ball only because Tek was looking for a pitch in a different location
and had to reach to make the catch. I understand not getting a close
call in such a situation, but middle of the middle should a K in any
circumstance.
