Had the Angel catcher just hesitated one second he would have heard the call as Pierzynski clearly did, but instead he instantly rolled the ball away and headed off the field.

The ump rung him up. The play is dead. The inning is over. Period.

The ump rung him up, but the play was not dead. He called the third strike, and then pointed toward first. Pierzynski saw and heard the call, so obviously the play was not dead. That said, Cali got hosed bigtime. Like I said earlier, the ball clearly bounced, but it was clearly inside the glove when it did as no dirt flew up.

So I agree it was a bad call, but I also can see where it was just as much the fault of the catcher for not insuring that the play was actually dead.
