You obviously haven't been watching today. Those balls were in the umps zone all day long. Perhaps, but if a Cubs player had been called out on those, there would be even more outrage. The first was below the knees and the second was off the plate. Its where the pitch crosses the front of the plate. The first pitch was above the knees when it crossed. If there was consistency in his K zone, Branyan was out. That's physically impossible. No matter what the pitch looks like from the behind-the-mound angle, it does not cross the front of home plate at the knees and hit the catcher's mitt well below. You ever faced a big league hook?
