White Sox AJ Perzenski's Controversial Strikeout

Regarding the controversial call, or non-call on AJ Perzynski in the 9th inning of game 2 against the Angels. The supervisor of umpires explained it perfectly. Two reasons why AJ was safe.

1. The umpire never called him out

2. Replays show the ball moves another direction before hitting the catchers mitt

I must have watched a good ten replays after immediately following the play. There was one replay that was shown maybe twice which clearly shows the ball either bouncing up into the glove or moving in another direction as it's caught. Maybe it was the same angle enlarged, but the ball clearly looked as if it rattled into the catcher's glove.

The question I have is why did the network only show that enlarged replay I saw only twice and continued to show the replay that was so inconclusive over and over?

I believe if the replay where the ball seems to bounce into the glove was shown more, the controversy wouldn't have been as one sided per the media. Remember, the network welcomes controversy. Controversy gets more people to watch upcoming games, adding to the viewer ratings, which amounts to more dollars. By not showing other replays and/or enlarging the tape, the commentators can only comment on what they saw.

Expect Radio talk show hosts as well as television commentators to talk about this for the next few days, getting paid big bucks to talk about it, the Controversial Call.

But don't get too caught up in that call. It didn't cause the Angels to lose the game. The following two plays cause the Angels to lose the game. The stealing of second base by the pinch runner. And the RBI double by Crede which won the game.

I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, which is hard when you're a die hard Raiders Fan, but when you tally up how much time is spent on talking about this call in the upcoming days, and the salaries of the folks in media who will be talking about it, I wonder if maybe something is being withheld from us poor fans to keep us asking the question.....was the ball a caught out?

Somebody someday will analyze the tape and come closer to the truth than what's being given at this time. In the meantime, Congratulations White Sox for a heads up play and winning game two of the ALCS. Maybe it's time for a "Tuck" rule in baseball.
