Today Matsuzaka was squeezed a little on the top and bottom but he got a couple of calls outside--he's been cheated by less than half a run, I'd reckon quickly, and there's no statistically significant sign of bias in the numbers, just error...but Bannister got more called strikes on the edges than Matsuzaka got, for a shift in his favor, the reverse of how Matsuzaka was called.
I've yet to see a game where Matsuzaka got the advantage in the ball strike calls, but it's better than the limited look I got last year, when it seemed that Matsuzaka was getting a
net 10-15 pitches called wrong against him each game.
