Don't they have to measure if it's requested?
I believe the ref's have the choice but they don't take requests. They should have measured that close no matter if they were asked to or not though.
If he waited any longer, he was getting killed.
He barely moved either. It was more a HB toss than a traditional option pitch. It looked like he took 1 or 2 steps right and pitched.
That was the best pitch i've ever seen Martinez use. A little soon but better than every other one i've seen him pitch.
