(SportsRadio 610) -- Not to reopen old wounds, but Astros pitching coach Brent Strom is still pissed off about a missed call in the World Series. 

If you remember, before Zack Greinke was pulled in the seventh inning of Game 7 against the Washington Nationals, he loaded the bases by walking Juan Soto. 

But one of the balls should've been a strike, the 2-1 changeup that was called ball-3 instead of strike-2. 

You know how it ended. 

Strom said he believes that call changed the entire complexity of the World Series and he hasn't forgotten about it.

"I think it changed the entire World Series, otherwise we'd be wearing World Series rings with (Gerrit) Cole coming in the eighth and ninth and we would have another ring," Strom said Tuesday during a conference call. "The pitch was there. It was not called a strike, human era. Computer had as 95-percent strike and I'm still pissed about it, to be quite frank.

"I hold on to grudges."

The Astros are going to chase that second World Series ring in an abbreviated 60-game season, if it's not shut down by the coronavirus pandemic. 

Strom gushed about Greinke's work ethic after the veteran threw 67 bullpen pitches Tuesday. Greinke will follow reigning American League Cy Young winner Justin Verlander in the rotation, which also includes Lance McCullers Jr. returning from Tommy John surgery.
