i disagree. i don't think i could complain about 1 starting pitcher throwing 9 pitches on the black or in the strikezone that were called balls and all of 1 pitch on the black and 0 outside the strike zone that were called strikes in most games. i understand that umpires are not perfect, but generally they are not perfect in a manner that is slightly more fair to the pitcher.
looks to me like timmy pitched a fantastic game while getting squeezed against a pretty good offense in the most extreme hitters park in mlb. i am a little biased tho.
edit: yes it does appear that the ump was taking away one side of the plate from liriano. i didn't watch the game though so i am less sure about it but it does not look good. even more evidence that mlb needs robot umps imo.
