I agree. When two teammates struck out on the same pitch, w/ 2 strikes you need
to look for that pitch again, take a swing, and then adjust if it's not a
breaking ball. Bad time to get a "backwards K".

a swing with 2 strikes, but I think players these
days are taught to look for a pitch way too much. He needed to be more
defensive, but St. Louis was getting benefits by the umpires are close
pitches while the Mets were not, and check swings.

What now? Wait 'til next year I guess. Can't beleive Beltran went down
on a called strike three. Can't beleive it's going to be 21 years
without a Championship. Good pitching beats good hitting but Beltran
should have tried even if he went down swinging.
