Is This The Worst Umpire Called Strikeout Ever?

Boston Red Sox Cody Ross strikeout without a strike being thrown

Patriots Day in New England is not just a day when hot girls come out to Fenway, its also apparently a day when umpires show how they can completely screw a game.

Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, winning running on first and with no swings on five pitches (none appearing to be strikes) Cody Ross of the Boston Red Sox strikes out to Fernando Rodney of the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Amica Pitch Zone seems a little to generous to the home team but I could only say that maybe one of those pitches (pitch 4) was close.

See for yourself.
