Why we don't miss Jason Kendall

Humberto Cota just brilliantly illustrates why Jason Kendall isn't missed much here in Pittsburgh. Kip Wells throws a typical Kip Wells pitch, a borderline curveball on a 3-2 count to Pujols. It may have been a bit up, but didn't seem inordinately out of the strike zone. Cota does a beautiful job framing the pitch and gets the call. Pujols, who had already dropped his bat and was walking to first, turns to argue the call and gets tossed. The game turns on a quick flick of the wrist by our catcher.
