Lawrie only got 4 games? He got off lucky methinks. I was thinking 5, if not more.

The ump had already made up his mind that anything close was going to be called, and probably because he felt that Lawrie "showed" him up on the previous pitch, which was a horrible call in itself. The catcher didn't even frame it that well knowing it was high. The sheer fact the catcher had to rise slightly from his crouch is a good indication that it was high. I'm willing to bet that umpire won't get too many more Blue Jays games this year.
