As a Braves fan, 100%. That game could’ve gone on for another 5-10 since they didn’t have the runner starting on 2nd rule then. But the Braves have also had their share of bad calls like the last one.
@jsu9575m3 ай бұрын
The umpire's argument wasn't that the runner beat him, it was that the tag was missed. It appears to be a bad call, but other angles don't show definitively that he was tagged. Basically it appears to be the wrong call but it's not as egregious as it looks on first glance.

Hell to the fuck no. It is a game of human error. If the ump’s strike zone is a bit off, that’s ok. Swing if it’s close, that’s the first thing they teach you when you pick up a bat. If you let the ump ring you up on a questionable call, then you should have been swinging at that close pitch. Keep the machines out of the game.

These MLB umpires must know that AI is being studied as a way of eliminating some of them permanently from the game (to save on costs). The technology exists now. It might help if a new timing rule (we have all of these new clock rules) would require that an umpire cannot actually remove a player from a game until the middle of the next inning after the all important slight that was the ground for the ejection (according to the umpire). That would give them time to cool off and save what reputation some of them have who put their egos before the game. I have always thought that so many of these umpires so wished they could actually play the game instead of judging the players who do that they just have an uncontrollable urge to somehow some way be noticed in the game. Pitiful indeed.

god was such a good compilation video until the end. You should remove the last one (as it was the correct call) and re upload. I see that play in so many compilations and it makes people seem like they don't understand how the infield fly rule works. It's the person who camps under the ball not the location of the ball. If the shortstop were to be standing at the warning track and camped underneath a fly ball that would be an infield fly rule. That was the correct call.
@PaddyjackАй бұрын
You are correct, and the purpose of that rule is to prevent an intentional "mistake" that would turn the play into a double play because players can't leave the bags on a short fly like this. However, the play looks bad because clearly this was not an intentional mistake and they clearly miscommunicated.
