Perhaps baseball has hired a few of the boxing referees!

i tuned in just in time to see that...it looked to me like the ball bounced but there was no dirt kicked up...in either case the umpire did call it a strike out twice and should have stuck to it...instead of letting the batter call the play...which is pretty much what he did...

just read about it. [COLOR="Silver"]I hate the sox.[/COLOR] sounds to me like the ump was sleepin'. [COLOR="Silver"]I hate the sox.[/COLOR] if it's strike three with two out and not a passed ball, inning is over. [COLOR="Silver"]I hate the sox.[/COLOR] players do not advance.

From what I have seen of the play, the batter should have been called out at the plate. He was not. There was only a strike 3 called.
The Umpire had to think that the catcher did not catch the ball. If the batter swings on a strike 3, and the catcher does not catch the ball, the batter may run to 1st base. Normally the catcher just throws to first base, and the batter/runner is out, and scored as a strike out/put out.

The other umpires had to be sleeping, to not see the play at the plate. If they had seen that they catcher had caught the ball, it should have been a simple call, to call the batter out. Game over.

Overall, it was a really bad call in my opinion.
