That no call was probably due to him regretting throwing Oswalt out of the game last night
OMG, It was him! Bill Hohn!!!
From Kilgore:
HOUSTON -- Matt Capps had one foot off the mound, his hand forming into a fist. All of the Washington Nationals' fielders took one step toward the dugout. They all thought they had won Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park, that they had survived, and they looked at the third base umpire for confirmation. Bill Hohn raised his hands -- a ball.
I didn't realize he was 3rd base umpire!
This makes it immeasurably worse. He wasn't making a call. He was trying to save his ass from the previous day!
They didn't mention it was Bill Hohn in the post game. They talked about how Berkman is a veteran and sometimes veterans get those calls and that Roger Bernadina, wouldn't have been struck out. We didn't need another batter at the plate for them, we needed another umpire on 3rd!
THIS SUCKS SO MUCH!!!
