Kojak , I m not complaining as much as it may seem, even though I was on Hou. McClellend has always been annoying with his slow, delayed calls....and that call on Lamb for the first out of the inning was a very key call....it would have been 3-2, and Izzo is known to lose it , he's not exaclt automatic...I felt he bailed him out....wish we could have sen the K zone on that pitch.
I just can't stand Mcclellend's style, he waits a good second longer than any ump.
Houston being impatient really hurt them in this one....and then when they don't swing that happens..maybe that is why they were free swinging, the low call was definitely helping Carpenter...all those grounders, aagin and the key DP on Berkman, who swings at the first pitch right after Carpenter weas wild, that was the game IMO.
