Yeah Lawrie was definitely in the wrong there. Bad calls happen. Can't flip out about it.

That being said, Miller definitely screwed him. He could have righted it by calling the 2nd pitch a ball...but it seems like an unwritten rule that the ump will always call a strike for anything remotely close after the guy started walking to 1st on the previous pitch. Some bullshit about the ump feeling like he'd been shown up.

Angel Hernandez is still the worst.
