Remember how the crazy inning ended? It was a Ryan Howard ground out. I think that home plate umpire Brian Gorman got so tired from the long inning he forgot what was a ball and what was a strike. So, of course Howard had to swing.
Here's the MLB.com Gameday from that at bat. Remember: a RED ball is what was called a strike. A GREEN ball is what was called a ball.
