Home plate umpire Sean Barber clearly lost track of the count as he made an emphatic "strike three" call on a 1-1 pitch. Fortunately, the mistake was quickly corrected, with Ramirez calmly reminding him that it was only strike two.
Keeping track of balls and strikes is a pretty critical component of the home plate umpire's job, so what happened here?
