So Belt does bunt and gets a base hit and RBI out of it. It was a squeeze, but still, it shows he should do it more often. Don't let them shift.

Also, did you see the called third strike on Slater in the top of the 6 th? It was at least six inches outside. Bad calls are one thing, but this wasn't close.

I can't wait for a technological approach to calling balls and strikes.

To be fair, this ump is calling everything with a very wide strike zone. Maybe he thinks the game is over and wants to go to dinner. I think it will be a while before MLB will accept an all electronic balls and strikes call. It would be interesting if the umps had an earphone interfaced to the computer that would make the call. The ump could then pretend to call balls and strikes. That you might sell.
