It didn't look as if the ump had a problem with it.

Besides....why would a catcher do that and allow a runner to advance and possibly even score? Looks like he lost track of the ball and was going down for what he thought was a big breaking ball.

I think the catcher purposely missed the pitch. He raises his mitt at first, then suddenly drops it. If he was expecting the ball to be low, he would have never raised the mitt to begin with.

I never seen a catcher misjudge a ball that badly before. I don’t care how mean of a curve ball a pitcher has, it doesn’t curve that much. The catcher’s glove was 5’ from the ball.

What does this have to do with the Cubs winning 7 straight at home?
