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.

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.
