Neither did the bench, and the Rays announcers never made mention of it. I rewound and watched the sequence 3 times to make sure I saw what I thought I saw.

How common could this possibly be???

If Jon Jay struck out, worth posting on Facebook and taunting all the Cardinal fans you know.

I didn't pay attention to the broadcast last night (I was out celebrating Batman 75th anniversary) but it apparently was noticed in the broad cast by the "graphics guy":

"the only person who seemed to notice it was ball four was the graphics guy on Fox Sports Midwest. Matheny took blame for the miscue after the game."
