Struck out--but on a 4-and-2 pitch!

Sean Rodriguez is capable of working deep counts, but the rookie second baseman isn't much of a four-ball hitter. In the fourth inning Thursday, Rodriguez struck out on what the scoreboard said was a full-count pitch. But a pitch-by-pitch replay of the at-bat confirmed that Rodriguez actually struck out on a 4-and-2 pitch. Neither plate umpire Tim Welke nor Angels Manager Mike Scioscia noticed the mistake. At 2-2, Rodriguez said Welke asked Tigers catcher Brandon Inge what the count was. "He said he thought it was 1-2, and I said I thought it was 1-2 also," Rodriguez said. "He thanked me for my honesty." Welke had the scoreboard reset to 1-2, and instead of drawing a walk, Rodriguez struck out. "That's a new trick of ours," Detroit Manager Jim Leyland said. Welke apologized to Rodriguez during his next at-bat.

He uses my avitar as his point every time- but if you notice, mine arent actually kissing. Mine are just well, ummm... about to?

Bunch of Angel haters in here....if the cuts are on his throwing hand of course it is a big deal. They are on their way into the playoffs and even though he isn't the hottest of their pitchers, they need everyone as close to 100% as possible. Sounds like a few Yankee fans are just butt hurt because the Evil Empire can't even smell the post season. It must be the $200+ million payroll getting in the way. There is always next year Yankee fan.

And you're the idiot running around trying to be someone else on the site. To be honest- you're even more emotionally stunted my friend. Pretty sad...

September 5, 2008  09:56 AM ET

I think it's funny how this bothers you guys. I mean, I don't have a problem with chicks kissing chicks! ;)
