    Apparently tonight's 1B umpire is the only one in baseball who calls Pettitte's balk move.

    Fuck! Seriously?

    It's in an espn insider article:

    • Pettitte has been known throughout his 16-year career for having an excellent pickoff move, and during that time he has been called for only 11 balks.

    Of those, three have been called by Angel Hernandez.

    Why is this relevant? Well, Hernandez is scheduled to be the first-base umpire Monday night, at a time when the Rangers are running the bases aggressively and when Pettitte will be working to keep them anchored to the bag.

    When Joe Torre managed the Yankees, he grew frustrated with Hernandez's interpretation of Pettitte's move to first, once telling the umpire that he was seeing something that nobody else was seeing.

    It's probably not going to have any effect.

    I don't think it's a story. 3 in 16 years is not a whole lot. Watch he calls 2 tonight.

    I mean fuck, we know he's great. Shut the fuck up for a minute. I love how in the first inning they were talking about how he always throws first pitch strikes and he hadn't thrown a first pitch strike yet.
