Mauricio Dubon appears to be in line to rob Nolan Gorman of a home run, but an Astros fan knocks the ball away from Dubon's glove. The Houston Astros went on take down the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-5.

That's rough. Would've been an insane catch 😕

If you’re at your HOME park as a HOME fan, you need to be aware of your HOME team trying to make a play…lucky it wasn’t a game winning HR or that fan would’ve gotten trashed forever.

Not interference but I would blame the Astro fan for not clearing out for their team to make a play. If it's the opponent, all day long don't let them catch in the stands because that's "out of play".

It was interference but I agree that the fan should’ve cleared it since it’s their team

@felixcruz5374 Ай бұрын

Let’s assume he didn’t touch the ball and the Astros player didn’t catch it. Looks like it might’ve been headed straight for his child. I would’ve likely done the same instinctively to protect my daughter. It’s one of those reactions you don’t have time to think of. You just react. Y’all need to drop it. I expect better from my Houston fans than booing someone out and just assuming it was intentional. You just don’t do that to a family with their kids.

@NoellaScott Ай бұрын

Weird comments. Everyone knows the fans can go for the ball when it's in the seats. Dubon was upset because there he was, at home, with Astros fans everywhere, and they didn't give him a chance to take the HR away. I thought this was obvious.

Fans have a right to go for the ball in the stands. It's a home run. The only person to "blame" is the pitcher for throwing a pitch that the batter hit 350 feet deep.

@christmashake8968 Ай бұрын

True, but ONLY if the fans are not actually reaching over the wall to grab the ball. Here, it appears the fan in question didn't reach for it past the top of the wall, making it fair game for both them and the fielder to grab at it. The fan DOES deserve fault for poor spatial and situational awareness, however, what with them appearing to be an Astros fan and getting in the way of a member of their own team trying to make an out for the sake of a souvenir.

@Barela- Ай бұрын

Yeah I mean it goes for any home team, you see the opposing team hitting a bomb and it’s in reach of your defense to snatch you should leave it in play. If the fielder can make the grab it’s free game. I was there at the game it was frustrating to see your own fan pushing your glove out the way for a souvenir but it happens. Props on the win though
