Just getting in and catching up on the thread. The ump that tossed Perez, Angel Hernandez, has tossed me from a couple high school games down here. I'd always b*tch at him about his fundamentally poor stance behind the plate causing him to shift the strike zone about 4 to 6 inches in towards the batter.
Usually you can tell when he's behind the plate because he's shifted way towards the batter. I wouldn't have recognized him tonight since he's aligned somewhat centered.
