I was pleasantly surprised by Estrada's outing. Usually with so much time between starts he doesn't do well. Tonight he had his first complete game all season. Even though he didn't get a win, I'm not blaming him. Can't win when your team doesn't score, no matter how good a pitcher you are.
I thought the umps did a good job. There weren't a lot of really close calls. And though I wouldn't say I agreed with every single call of the home plate umpire, who ever agree 100%? It didn't seem really one-sided. And he let players complain without throwing them out.
And the guys calling the game also were pretty good. Much better than last year. I realize they don't have an affect on the outcome of the game (like a bad umpire) but they have an affect on viewer enjoyment.
A good game to start the series...but the wrong outcome.
