Dear B.J., You Were Right

B.J. Upton should receive an apologetic text message from the home plate ump who ran him tonight. Upton was called out on strikes in the first inning on an outside curve from Josh Beckett. Hideki Okajima got him in the 8th on an inside pitch. Granted, both pitches were just off the plate, but if you have to go out of the zone inside and outside, it's hard to hit major league pitchers, especially ones of the caliber of Beckett and Okajima. Can't we automate this?
