WTF Was McCarver Talking About
R1. Long flyball to CF. CF runs after it, reaches for it, misses it. Ball bounces into the stands for a groundrule double. R1 returns to 3rd.
McCarver kept saying the Reds were lucky that the CF did not "touch the ball" before it went into the stands.
I am not an umpire but I do try to stay up on the rules. Is there some rule I'm missing that would have allowed R1 to score had it been determined that the CF touched the ball?
