Is this the worst strike call ever? [GIF]

[HHR]

As an ex pitcher, that slider dropped thru the strikezone. It's not where the catcher catches the ball, it's where it crosses the plate. It looks like it was at the batter's knee, on the edge of the plate.. That's a strike folks.

The GIF and the catcher's poor receiving make it look worse than it is...

...but it's still not a strike.

ugh that pitcher never crossed any strike zone it was so obviously down and away and thats from a right camera angle where those pitches arent always so obvious and this one was SOOO obvious....

 

[MostReal]

thats so bad all I can do is laugh

i say pick any number of strikeouts that eric "fat fukk" gregg called in the 97 braves/marlins nlcs matchup.

This and it will never be close.

That was a nasty slider too. A lot closer than it looked.

lol, that was not a strike. Come on.

I just watched both feeds, and both play by play guys had actually gotten "and that's ball four" out of their mouths before Blue rung him up. Hilarious.
