some questionable calls behind the plate.
That's one thing I have been trying to pay attention to when watching these older games. I remember non-Braves fans bitching about Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux getting calls other pitchers didn't get, but I have noticed a pretty consistent strike zone for both Braves' and their opponents' pitchers.
Maybe that has something to do with playoff umpire crews vs. regular season, I don't know, but especially with the '95 NLCS Game 7, Glavine established how low and outside the home plate umpire would call a strike and kept tossing it in that area.
McCarver said as much in the Top of the 1st.

all of what you said is true, but what I am referring to are pitches right down the middle that were not called, which led to Berryhill getting walked to load the bases. He should have easily been struck out which would have meant the game ends on Hunter's pop up.
after the Braves getting screwed down the road, though, this doesn't bother me at all LOL
