Anyone watch the Mariner Game?

[OAKAS]

In the 5th inning Maybin for San Diego walks on 3 balls. Nobody says a thing.
He scores and the Padres win 1-0.

Unbelievable that nobody caught the mistake.

The Mariner announcers are going crazy.

Wow! Home plate ump Phil Cuzzi doesn't work with a counter according to our Root Sports close-up. A 3pitch walk and a single gives SD a 1-0 win over the Mariners. Never seen anything like it!

MORE ON MAYBIN'S MYSTERY WALK --- According to a Mariner PR official, the count jumped from 1-2 to 3-2 on Maybin in the fifth on the pitch that was outside that Bard had to block.


Also, conjecture here in the press box that the scoreboard showed 1-1 on Maybin when the count should have been 0-2. But that still leaves it unclear what the umpire thought --- he's supposed to keep his own count independent of what it says anywhere else. The TV replay clearly shows him calling a strike on the first pitch, the only called strike of the at-bat.

SEATTLE -- San Diego's Cameron Maybin walked after just three balls were thrown by Seattle's Doug Fister and came around to score the only run of the game on Antonio Gonzalez's fifth-inning single, sending the Padres past the Mariners 1-0 on Saturday night.
With one out in the fifth, Maybin walked when a pitch was called high by home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi. A video review of the at-bat by official scorer Dan Peterson confirmed the count should have been 3-2 when Maybin walked.
No argument was made by anyone on the field and the stadium scoreboard showed a three-ball count before Fister (3-9) delivered the pitch.

unbelievable!! the walk was fister only walk of the game and it proved to be a big one the winning run!
ive seen in the passed where the batter forgets the count and tries for first,but the ump tells the batter that it was only ball 3,but for the umps and entire seattle team not to catch it is unbelievable!
i know umps used to hold a pitch counter in their hands before, don't see that anymore
well 1st5inn and game players either got screwed or made out! shit happens!!!
