Revere pays homage to Gardy

“It was terrible. It was terrible. It changed the whole game,” Revere said while shaking his head back and forth. “It [would have put] me in a 3-1 count and now he has to throw me a strike. Then, [Nelson] says 2-2, and that puts me in a hole and now I’m battling.

    “It was a terrible call. I know these guys are battling, but in that situation, that’s just, you can’t call that. It puts me in a bad situation. It changes the whole game.”

Ben Revere is the best.

Well, at least he was accurate in describing the situation.  And he only needed one Gardyism to get his point across...

Nelson made two bad calls in a row on the same type of pitch.  He missed an up and away fastball to Navarro, and then Revere.  They weren't very close as these things go, so I can commiserate.  Even battling your tail off doesn't erase a poor ninth inning strike zone.
