Pujols takes a walk

[Richie Allen]

I also thought it was ball three and it was validated by the 2-2 count on the ESPN screen. It went to 3-2 after he had made his way down to first. Surprised all of the umpires missed that. And the Brewers.

I remember thinking that was Ball 3 too! Even McLaughlin said when he walked said "Good at-bat there by Pujols". The announcers didn't even catch on.

That really is strange that nobody noticed it.

[Jocephus]

so...does that mean he'll have an asterisk by his walk totals when his career is over?

[AJ]

What if that walk would have led to a game changing run, would the Brewers had valid reason to protest the game? Or would they pretty much have given that up not challenging it immediately after the play?

Once the next pitch was thrown, any appeal went out the window. But since Rolen hit into a double play on the *second* pitch thrown, I don't think the Brewers are complaining too much.
