I agree, those pitches were all balls. However, at least live the pitches from Hughes seemed to be right on the border or strikes. With how often Fox went to replay pitches and showoff their fox tracker or whatever they call their strike zone cam, and how big those walks were, they could have replayed them, even after the at-bats or when they showed hughes coming off the field yelling at the ump over the calls. Thats all I wanted, to get a replay and see wether they really were off the plate or not. It felt like most of the night the strike zone was on the large side for both teams and those borderline pitches were being called strikes until those 2 at-bats. Idk, maybe I was just frustrated. Again, all I wanted was a replay that they were so willing to give all night except then.

Regarding the Buck/McCarver comments. McCarver was fired by the yankees so im sure that hasto play somewhat into his feelings toward the team. Buck I was told was affiliated or had been with the Red Sox, I tried checking on that real quick but wasn't finding anything. If he had been, he'll also be at least semi-biased against them, if not then I was mis-informed.
