It was a 3-2 count, and the ball was well off the plate. That wasn't on Springer.

It was a 2-2 count and it was just off the corner. Need to be swinging in that spot.

You can’t be blaming Springer on not swinging at a pitch that is clearly off the plate. That’s on the ump

There isn't one. They just routinely like to give Biggio ABs in big spots.

not to say that it was the right decision but it was probably because it was the DH spot, and would force a non-1B to play first or a pitcher to hit in the event it went into the 11th.

I'd also like to not see my 9th hitter swing at 3-1 to lead off the bottom of the ninth. Like, the point is, don't make an out at all costs. It's risky to even have to put the ball in play. There's 2 chances for a ball to put you on base and you think it's a "hitting count" but you forgot the situation. And oh, btw, you're not Barry Bonds.
They also might have subbed in a RHB (Luplow) for Biggio and allowed Keirmaier to steal 3rd with 1 out in the 10th. We NEEDED that runner on 3rd with less than 2 out any way possible. That strike 3 looking call on Springer was BRUTAL and ended up being the whole ball game.
