| Are these umpires serious? I'm watching the Indians vs. Redsox's game now I think I might've just saw the worst call ever. Not dramatic, but just terrible call.
Situation:
9th inning, Indians have the bases loaded with Casey Blake at the plate. Blake has 2 strikes against him already. Red Sox's pitcher throws one inside, Blake attempting to avoid being hit, hits the ball with the bat. Keep in mind, he completely turned his body and head, and kept the bat close to his body. The ball after hitting the bat goes into the stands. Originally the umpire calls it as being hit by the pitch, walking in a runner. Red Sox manager comes out and protests, and he convinces the home plate ump to change the call to Casey Blake being out completely ignoring the fact that the ball went into the stands. It's a foul ball even if you do consider it to be a swing!
