But in my mind, Jake Gibbs stands as the all-time favorite backup. During Thurman's rookie season, Gibbs had his best year at the plate. Also his last year in baseball. Great way to go out.

The count was full, the bases were loaded and Brian Fuentes fired a fastball at the lowest part of the strike zone Wednesday night, and when home plate umpire Rick Reed called the pitch a ball – the K Zone indicated that Fuentes’s fastball nicked the strike zone –

I think it more than “nicked the strike zone –

All stations make mistakes but it does seem that ESPN commentators have made more than their share of mistakes. Please don't take it personally. Went for a joke.
