Anyone who says balls and strikes don't matter and the team should win anyway, well Albers got the strikeout that wasn't called which led to two runs. That changes the game. Every call they make changes the game. If we're out of the inning, who knows how the pitching will go and who would have been pitching.
The umpire even called a strike and a ball for the exact same pitch. And I think they were back-to-back, so it's not about an umpire's strike zone. And he won't even have to answer for that along with all the other bad calls in the game.
There needs to be a change made. It's 2012. There's no need to leave it to individual eye sight -- or lack of.
And great game today by Clay. It was a pitcher's duel for a while, and with David Price no less. Well done.

No, that is actually more relevant. It shows a lack of discipline, straying away from fitness and athleticism in the middle of a pennant race is not good and it may have had an effect. -
