Here is the biggest lie... Ump said he always uses the fist raised motion for 3rd strike.... not true... I have Tivo... for those of you who recorded the game... go back to 3rd out of 8th Inning:
Konerco swing and misses for strike 3... umpire does the slash with his right hand indicating strike 3...
ball clearly hits dirt... Ump waits... Josh Paul tags Konerco out... then Ump points to Konerco lifts the fist and everyone leaves the field...
3rd out was not until Ump raised fist.
One of them said he didn;t call him out, he called it a strike!!
But he swung and missed -- it wasn't a call.
