OAK@LAA: Umps overturn homer in 5th, Scioscia ejected

[@SebastianTheGreat]

Whoever approved this remix to AC/DC should be fined

[@ryanberner04]

That deffinetly wasn't a homerun. The umps shouldn't even need to look at the replay to see that it wasn't a homerun.

[@LexWatz]

Just put Hockey glass around the wall already for fuck's sake! "Look at me, I'm part of the game, and I fucked shit up"!

[@MrGamecube14]

How about fans just stop reaching over the walls for potential home runs?????

[@ericwessel9674]

Wouldn't you want a home run ball

[@MrGamecube14]

Eric Wessel well it's not a home run if it doesn't go over the wall now is it?

[@alexbinkley5479]

Eric Wessel plus if you interfere with the ball in play you have to leave the game for fan interference :l

[@hurricane9851]

Eric Wessel yeah fans in the front row of the outfield walls need to know not to reach over

[@zacharyhead8302]

+Blundergatz - Minecraft and More! whoa that's dangerous

[@MrLeeG100]

Maybe they should re-design the seating arrangements in baseball stadiums so that fans cannot interfere with a ball in play. Wouldn't that make sense???!!!

[@joedirtthe3rd]

5 years later and Angels HR line in RF is now UNDER the scoreboard. So anything above the bottom part of the scoreboard is a HR, regardless of fans.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

It is always very enjoyable to watch fans get ejected, they're supposed to be adults not 10 yr old little brats reaching for every ball!

[@austinfeinberg955]

That's a hard call to make for the home run. It looks like close for calling the call home run. That's my answer for this Major League Baseball KZbin video.

[@BrianSchaffer]

It looks like it went past the wall before any fan touched it/ball touched a fan…

[@johnrmirez5261]

sciosias arguement is beyond stupid any fan interference from batter hitting ball is 2 bases

[@alanhess9306]

JOHN RMIREZ, Not true. Runners are placed according to umpire's judgment. They could get one base or three bases depending on the situation.

[@bri-tc7ib]

Trout definitely would have gotten to third, are you kidding me? he has an insane amount of speed!

[@hurricane9851]

butera diaries he's fast but theres almost no way he couldve gotten a triple considering how quickly the ball left the bat and would have hit the wall. if he tried its about a 60/40 he gets thrown out at 3rd imo and they dont do fringe calls like that.

[@jessegarcia2064]

+Stoney Balogna the throw could've gone home because conger was running

[@hurricane9851]

Jesse Garcia still a fringe call.

[@tankchen3114]

I agree

[@critter2]

the umpire is saying he has no say way to replace runners and he automatically ejected after video replay i your going to continue to argue

[@stevepwood]

Not sure how you can say the glove was below the line when contact was made. I would have thought the original call would have to stand. Not be confirmed, but be sustained.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

I'm presuming the Replay Center likely felt that the baseball wasn't going to land over the yellow line.

[@alanhess9306]

@@MattZRJSRoxy, I think the benefit of the doubt needs to be given to the fielder since he was deprived of the opportunity to make a play on the ball. If there was no interference and the ball was played cleanly off the fence, who is to say a good throw would not have caused Trout to be put out at second or third base as he tried to stretch the hit?

[@daviddarcy5355]

The problem is the umpire called a home run so it's overturned so where do you put the runners ? This is why Mike was tossed arguing the above

[@BruinsChampions2011]

Because they ruled interference, the play automatically ends, I think. Since Trout was at second at the time, that is where he was put, due to the play ending.

[@doomrockes]

Jeffrey Loll Its the umpire in NYs call to place runners

[@Narxes081206]

David Darcy would have made more sense to allow the play to continue, then go and review of it's a hr.

[@alanhess9306]

@@jeffreyloll4291 Not true. If a play is truly a ground rule double, all runners get two bases. A runner at first would never score on such a play.

[@alanhess9306]

@@jeffreyloll4291 You wrote " It's just like a runner on first before a ground-rule double; if the umpire determines he would have scored, he can allow the run to score instead of sending him back to third." I felt the need to correct such an obviously incorrect statement. I hope in the last five years you learned how wrong you were.

[@affemitwaffe9057]

CLE 17 - TEX 7. Musta been quite a fight.

[@bipblake]

Why don't they just move the front row of bleachers back enough, to where fans cant interfere? Problem solved. And WITHOUT instant replay & WITHOUT delaying the game any. Very simple.

[@Kira-zi1qp]

It slows the game a maximum of ten minutes, just quit bitching instant replay helps get the correct call

[@bipblake]

Bryan Bordes If they moved back the bleachers a little bit during the off season, that would solve the problem of fans hanging over, & the ones bitching are those who say the game last to long, like instant replay reviews can really solve that problem. So the ones bitching are the ones who bitch about the time of a game, but I don't expect you to understand that, & I don't have the time to try & talk horse sense to a JACKASS.

[@brianhoughton9873]

We should be able to eject umpires. He's walking away then throws him out

[@alanhess9306]

Brian, managers know that arguing after a replay review by the crew in NY is an automatic ejection. Scioscia probably knew he would be ejected and the umpire followed the rule. Walking away or not, the ejection was appropriate.

[@YoMike91]

looks like it hit the glove

[@drumbasher]

No.

[@Biscuitchris7again]

@@alanhess9306 Yes. See the yellow line across the top of the wall. That's the home run line. It hit the guys arm above that line. The Umpires even called a home run. But the fan interfered by sticking his arm out into the field of play, which technically makes it interference.

@@Biscuitchris7again Wrong, the fan reached forward into the field of play. Video review confirms it was not a HR.

@@alanhess9306 2:55 The railing is set back from the scoreboard. the cement juts out from the railing. 2:20 If the fan didn't try to catch it, it would have bounced off the cement and into the stands. It would have been a home run.

[@alanhess9306]

@@Biscuitchris7again I disagree. the fielder reached well into the field of play as the ball was coming down. Replay determined it was not a HR

[@nicb.1411]

Based on the trajectory and velocity of the baseball while also accounting for wind speed and rotation of the earth it was definitely a HR. I have a Doctorate in Baseball Science so I know these things.

[@akahaney1]

MLB stadiums need to be fixed so the fans can't do stupid stuff like this.

[@hurricane9851]

akahaney1 how do you suppose doing that lmao, adding nets or seats shallower by the outfield walls so fans cant see the game just so they dont interfere. its fine the way it is, this almost never happens and it would be a waste of time to even consider.

[@shtb_films5360]

Like Dodger stadium

[@hurricane9851]

Bri Ba the plexiglass would just piss off peoplewho bought front row tickets pretty much eliminating them from any chance of catching a home run. fans reaching over to to this hardly ever happens in the outfield (although you see it alot along first and 3rd base lines)

[@critter2]

+akahaney1 i agree with you its annoying fans don't seem to grasp do not lean over.... or interger with play

[@hurricane9851]

KoachKrab127 that works, people will still lean over if they think they have a chance at the ball though. which could cause people to fall over into the bullpen / whatever is underneath the wall. but thats still the best way ive seen anyone come up with.

[@ernestbywater411]

Well, I hope the Angels fans involved are now happy their behaviour cost one of their team's players a home run and caused a delay with controversy. All they need to do is wait until after it passes OVER the fence before fighting for it. They now know who to blame if the railing is raised further.

[@johnvandeventer8668]

Unlike the home run that screw the Athletics and Cleveland this one was the call from New York

[@stephendupree4008]

The spectator interfered with the ball from "going over the fence". This is a home run, but I'm not an umpire, this is what I read.

[@BruinsChampions2011]

My understanding is that interference ends the play immediately. I think that NY said that because of where the glove is compared to the wall, its not possible to say that it is going to be a HR, and that is why they put him a second, instead of a HR or 3rd. Because the play ended and that was where he was at the time.

[@stephendupree4008]

Thank you BC20. Steve

[@bradenearle9496]

The fans reached and touched it, that’s a homerun

[@alanhess9306]

Braden, your post makes no sense.

[@MattZRJSRoxy]

that's not how interference calls work Braden. Once fan interference is declared it's a dead ball and it's up to Umpire judgment on what the correct ruling is for the runners. Granted if the Replay Center felt it was a Homerun then they obviously could've ruled it as such but they obviously felt differently.

[@critter2]

+Lee Marion they never said it they said it was hard to decide and couldn't tell

[@Robby_LaFavor]

6:35 Are you dumb? Also, how is that obvious fan interference? You are aware of the fact that just because a fan touches it, it doesn't make it automatic fan interference, right?

[@jh.4770]

Robby LaFavor if you reach over the boundary and into the field of play, it is fan interference. A ball that's hit in between the lines must clear the fence in order for the fan touch it. Even if the ball looks like it's going out for a homerun, the fan has to wait until it clears the fence in order for the fan to touch it, and doesn't matter how high the wall is. By the letter of the rule, that's still interference.

[@jh.4770]

Robby LaFavor just like in this case. That ball was going out for a homerun. But the fan didn't wait until it cleared the fence and reached over the boundary. Therefore, that's interference.
