I'm not saying Cody Ross was upset today, but...

Posted by TFox Apr 16 '12, 16:58

�That�s unacceptable,� said Ross, who has reached base safely in eight straight games. �I�m battling. I�m bearing down. My whole team�s bearing down. Everyone on the field should be bearing down.

�I�ve taught myself over the years to take those pitches and not expand my strike zone, to make him make a mistake. He didn�t make a mistake. As soon as it comes out of his hand, I�m in shutdown mode, saying �No, that�s a ball.� Then it�s a strike. Next one � ball. No, strike. What are you going to do?�

�If I�m going up there and striking out every at-bat, I�m going to get benched,� he said. �But it�s not that way with them. They can go out there and make bad calls all day, and they�re not going to be held accountable for it.�

It's so easy to fix but won't be until Mr. Burns finally dies. -- nm - David Apr 16, 17:24
I'll just say, that if the ump's zone was wide for both teams, then stop yapping. - Will Hunting Apr 16, 17:12 4

  - That's bad then.... - Will Hunting Apr 16, 17:18 1
    - None of the pitches were strikes yet he struck out. It's hard for an umpire to do worse in totality. -- nm - David Apr 16, 17:28
that last ab was silly. not one pitch was a strike -- nm - CQ: In Suspension Apr 16, 17:01
