Was he watching the same game?
Jim Reynolds, the home plate umpire for Sunday's contest between the A's and Los Angeles Angels, probably wishes he had this call back. To start off the top of the 10th inning, Liam Hendriks delivered about as solid of a pitch as you can, but somehow it was not called a strike.

Hendriks still managed to make it a 1-2-3 inning, and Oakland walked the game off in the next half inning on a sacrifice fly from Mark Canha.
