I think it was LoDuca (might have been Green) - I don't exactly remember - it was the 3rd ball but it was real close. Call could have gone either way.
but after that pitch - Valverde couldn't get anything over the plate, or, when he did - it was a gimme right down the middle.
I guess it's the nature of baseball, that one call can get a guy thinking and throw is game off. I mean - if that was a strike, maybe Loduca doesn't get walked & maybe Valverde has his head on better when pitching to Easley.
did you see that Pitch, Valverde to LoDuca?

Bill Clinton slept with an intern. A consenting adult and he got impeached and nearly disbarred as a result. Donald Trump went to parties showcasing underaged women brought in as basically prostitutes, and he says it's nothing.
Double standard?

You're probably referring to the LoDuca ab because there were several pitches the ump could have called a strike. Easley follow, first 2 pitches were balls then Valverde grooved the next pitch right over the plate and you know what happened next...

He completely lost it.
