Terrible thing because he earned it. It was taken away unfairly. But the game is not always fair, no matter how much they try.
but it could be more fair...with just a slight adjustment, not routine balls and strikes or routine outs at bases or the plate...but in critical late moments only, where a games outcome is in the balance, in the ninth or extras. and that is from an old purists, but one who thinks just a BIT of ‘non purist’ change would not hurt.
