It Only Took Two

One game, one complaint and it took all of two batters to happen.  ESPN2 is airing the opening game of the baseball season, Red Sox at Yankees, which I’m sure you’ve heard about 1000 times by now.  Well, Edgar Renteria is the second batter of the game, and he takes a pitch.  ESPN whips out their nifty K-Zone to show us the location of a pitch Renteria didn’t swing at (to make him 1-2).  The audience then proceeds to miss the strikeout pitch.

ESPN did not make the same mistake when the next batter, Manny Ramirez, struck out as well.

Update: Tino Martinez comes in to play first base for Jason Giambi.  In his first inning of action he makes a great play to end the inning.  The Tino-loving Bronx crowd goes nuts.  Instead of being treated to a replay (and all I’m asking for is one), we get to see Sam Ryan introducing Fat Joe for ESPN’s new “Soundcheck” segment.  Yipee.  We don’t see a replay when they come back from commercial either.  Go
