Squeezing Pitchers
Aaron Harang walks seven and Ryan Dempster walks four in the Reds Cubs game. Harang has great control and Dempster is pretty good, which makes me wonder if the home plate umpire was squeezing the pitchers tonight. The Reds are trailing 7-1 in the top of the ninth, and so far, 14 walks total in the game. Did anyone see the game? Were the pitchers wild, or was the ump tough?
Update: The Reds score two runs in the ninth but the Cubs win 7-3.

The ump was very tight tonight. Dempster had better control then Harang, who has not done well lately anyway. But the ump did not help either of them, nothing on the corners was called a strike. It was hot and sticky, a rough night for a silly umpire. I thought Bobby Howery was going to strangle him in the 9th inning...LOL
