Boo Fricking Hoo

When a guy gets roughed up for six earned in six and two-thirds, who’s to blame? Most folks would say the pitcher had a bad day. But the greatest pitcher in the world has other ideas:

Although the Sox were angered at home plate umpire Eric Cooper’s strike zone, [greatest pitcher in the world Mark] Buehrle put most of the blame on the QuesTec pitch-tracking machine that Major League Baseball employs to help grade umpires.

“When [QuesTec] gets in every stadium, it’s going to be a hitter’s league,” said Buehrle, echoing the sentiments of pitchers such as Boston’s Curt Schilling, who once smashed a camera and was fined.

“I need the corners. [Cooper] was calling the high strike, but I don’t live upstairs. I live on the corners. I’m not saying they were strikes. I think some of them were.”

For the record, this year Red Light Curt is 14-4, with an ERA of 3.78 and a 142-20 K to BB ratio. Apparently, QuesTec isn’t bothering him much this year…
