FPSR Violation??

[UmpJM]

Spence,

If I'm the umpire, that is absolutely an FPSR violation.

I thought so as well but he seemed to hesitate and then decided to not call it. No impact on the outcome of the game though.

Was this a 3-man or 4-man crew?

Wow. Just wow. With an umpire standing right there, it's pretty obvious that R1 was not sliding straight at the base. And then he hit the fielder. Textbook FPSR.

And this gets called regardless of the play at first. U2 isn't even watching that play and should be calling "That's interference! Time!" as soon as it happens.

As we all know, just because this was a championship game, it doesn't necessarily mean that championship officials were on it. It is unfortunate but, happens often.

Exactly, championship officials just make the calls. This is an example of an umpire chocking under the pressure. In basketball they would call that "swallowing the whistle"

That's the TRUTH!
