I'm tired of this victim mentality, about how the Steelers are so cheap, and how officials are instructed to make calls against us. That's all pure fantasy.
I don't think anyone who is not privy to inside information can speak for or against what is going in behind closed doors with officials, but I do remember this side bar about umpires years ago.
I think it was Shag Crawford (former NL umpire) said, "Joe Morgan had such a great ball/strike eye that if he took a close pitch, I called it a ball just because I figured it must be a ball if Joe didn't swing at it!"
