Grand slam was foul....

[Hoover Dawg]

Not that it matters now. Rewind and watch in slomo, very easy to see the ball on this side of the pole.

 

[thekimmer]

Yes it was. How do you miss that

 

[jdbulldog]

No doubt....a foul ball. Huge and terrible call. Why our staff did not ask for another look is beyond me. Even their base runner looked uncertain.

 

[KurtRambis4]

What gave you

that idea?

 

[Hoover Dawg]

that idea?

The TV.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah, that's reviewable I believe. Dropped the ball.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

True, if you can trust the angles you see on TV

it was foul.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

I'm not trying to be that guy, but have we argued, challenged, or asked for a review all season?

 

[WrapItDog]

Cell phone video looking down the first base line. Rooker watched it and didn't react like it was foul.

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

Yeah neither Rooker nor Lovelady acted like it was foul. If it was below the pole, they gotta go ape.

 

[57stratdawg]

Yeah, they didn't seem to disagree with the call. Wonder if it looked different on the field, the TV angle is pretty bad.

When it was first hit I thought it was foul also but seeing the slow mo replay it went inside the pole it was fair.

 

[Palos verdes]

I thought it was foul too, but on replay it looked like it may have passed at an angle, beyond the pole.

 

[thekimmer]

Replay clearly showed the ball pass in front of the pole

I thought it was foul too, but on replay it looked like it may have passed at an angle, beyond the pole.

100% certainly it was foul. Umps miss calls but they don't normally cost 4 runs.

 

[Bulldogg31]

We have GOT to find another option besides Plumlee for middle relief with men on base. He is immensely hittable.

 

[coach66]

It sure looked foul to me but hard to tell from the angles seen.

[Rezpup]

I backed it up and replayed it slo-mo at 1/4 speed then paused to see the ball was in front of the pole so it was foul.

 

[coach66]

Thanks, glad my old eyes are still working.

[Willow Grove Dawg]

It was my 17ing fault. I have zero confidence in Plumlee

When Pilkington walked the hitter to load the bases - I text a couple of friends "we are about to bring in Plumlee & he will serve up a grand slam"

 

[ShrubDog]

I will leave this here....

At the end of the day I guess it didn't matter, outside taking away hope. We blew the game when we only got 2 runs out of the previous inning. Coaching took the bat out of Bragg's hands.

 

[AlCoDog]

Continued ****** baserunning was a killer.

 

[Hoover Dawg]

I must say, if there is one thing I did like about Polk's approach to the game, it was the station to station part. Don't take stupid unnecessary risks.

And for the record, bunting and base stealing (with the right players) is not 'aggressive'. You can play small ball and still be conservative. Especially with the second best hitting team in the league.

 

[Palos verdes]

Wow...I don't ever recall seeing such a botched ruling in baseball. That would decide the outcome of most baseball games. Cohen would have been banned from returning to BBP, probably permanently!

 

[Cousin Jeffrey]

What appears to be the ball in front of the foul screen may be seeing the ball through the screen. Unlike the screen, the pole is solid and the ball appears to disappear once it gets to the pole.

 

[msu_wx]

Well, I was wrong. You can see the ball disappear behind the pole.

But when I stopped it on the pole it was still there and with a halo.
