Oh this is sure to get Cardinals fans all riled up, but I’m only calling it like I see.  To me, that was strike three last night against Matt Holliday in the bottom of the seventh with the go ahead run on second base.  Plus, he absolutely should have been thrown out of the game for throwing his bat.

After the pitcher was making a living at getting the outside pitch called for a strike in that at-bat, Holliday had to expect the Sox to continue to pound the corner and instead of trying to fight off the pitch, Holliday watched it, then pouted and spent the rest of the night in the clubhouse.

I’ll break down the video to explain my side of the story.

Plus, now all of the sudden, Tony La Russa is against the bean ball.  You kidding me?
