Ishii's check swing, however, was pretty obviously a blown call and would have been strike three. He went around.CJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607708844922587015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14972736.post-28353416684311173572008-11-16T00:52:00.000-08:002008-11-16T00:52:00.000-08:00Thanks again for the update...will have to find a ...Thanks again for the update...will have to find a vid of that 9th inning.TTThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997653696450941993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14972736.post-43848570962679021812008-11-16T00:16:00.000-08:002008-11-16T00:16:00.000-08:00watched the game... a controversial win for seibu ...watched the game... a controversial win for seibu lions. with 2 out in the bottom of the 9th, batter for Seibu had 2 strikes and swung at a breaking ball. He stopped midway through his swing but it looked like a strike to me. catcher for the unilions thought it was a K and started going towards the dugout. Ump called it a ball and said that he didnt break his swing. next pitch, same thing happens again and the catcher heads to the dugout after thinking it was a strike and then the ump calls it ball again. This one looked to me like a strike as well. after 2 balls that should have been strikes(if they had counted the 1st it woulve been a K) the batter finally gets walked and the next batter hits a single into outfield to bring him home. Really shameless. If you can find footage, you should check it out. the coaches of the Unilions didnt look too happy after Seibu won. he had that looked that he totally just got gypped. I'll be surprised if he doesnt file a complaint against the umpire that was calling it.BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752726570768646914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14972736.post-37380427602191782912008-11-15T14:04:00.000-08:002008-11-15T14:04:00.000-08:00I believe the tie-breaker is based on the two team...I believe the tie-breaker is based on the two teams that conceded the least amount of runs: that being Seibu (7 RA) and the P. Lions (10 RA). The Wyverns allowed 13 runs total - so the offensive outburst by the P. Lions as well as the pitching staff holding the opposition to 4 runs were they keys to advancing today.TTThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13997653696450941993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14972736.post-46323894029762234822008-11-15T12:48:00.000-08:002008-11-15T12:48:00.000-08:00hey terror, how come Seibu and not the SK Yverns m...hey terror, how come Seibu and not the SK Yverns make it to the finals? Is it because Seibu is the hometeam? because the SK Yverns beat the Seibu Lions didnt they?BChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03752726570768646914noreply@blogger.com
