That call was brutally bad.

This morning on San Francisco morning radio, Jon Miller was interviewed. He said that after he and Joe Morgan finished the broadcast, they went out to the network truck to talk to the director of the telecast. The director said that the umps had come out to the truck to view the replay before going to their press conference. When viewing a replay, the plate ump commented "There, the ball switched directions when it hit the ground", to which the director replied "What on earth are you looking at?" The director then blew up the shot, clearly showing that the ball never touched the ground, and the umps stayed silent. The umps then went into the press conference and claimed that replays showed the ball changing direction when it hit the ground.

On the other hand, Mike Scioscia has the right attitude about this; he needs to make sure his players don't dwell on a call they can't change, and are ready to win tomorrow. I give him high marks for keeping his head on straight.
