He wasn't blocked out, but if he had been, why would he make a call that he didn't see. He could have let the play happen, and then gone for help with Hernandez. Wedge had a legit beef on that one. Go Sox anyway!

the fielder swept the ball up on the line and was heading foul maybe he was blocked and when he caught a glipse it looked as is the ball were foul having missed the actual touch of the ball. He had to have missed a piece of info to go for help no reason he would go otherwise.

This is were MLB has taken the "get the play right" to an extreme. Since no one slowed down, or quit on the play, the umpires decided to correct the obvious wrong. Not saying I agree, or disagree, but I guess they figure on these plays the bottom line is they got the call right without anything else being affected... Other than the ejection that everyone knew was coming......

How could BU have seen the ball anyway because the glove was blocking his view of the ball. Don't agree with that at all, but that's the new world of MLB. Thanks David |

If you freeze it at the 0:07 second mark, you can see that the PU had a clear shot at the call. I had thought maybe A.J. had blocked him out, or the pitcher put his foot in front or something, but no, the PU apparently just kicked the call.
I think it's horsebleep to change a foul call to fair on a live ball, as it sets a bad precedent.

Hmmmmm.....
I don't see where he was blocked except perhaps by the way F1 fielded the ball (more glove than line)---Yet it COULD be MLB and the "get it right" mentality. For the rest of us (perhaps mostly those who do FED ball) - once you "kill it" your done. Sometimes it can be fixed but you know that your going to have a shi$ house on your hands.
Hell, if he saw it foul I think that he should have stuck with it. But then again I only work up to HS ball....and not even getting to the show. Tom

Late Take
Wasn't it just a couple of years ago they put in the "Brinkman Rule", once you kill a ball, by calling it foul it is dead? I understand the pressure MLB guys are under, no matter what you are drawn and quartered on SportsCenter for making a mistake. But so what?
You kill the ball, it's foul. It has to be a dead play. Ugly, ugly call in Cleveland, and if any of us made it on any level, we would be ejecting half of a field we were working on. |

Not only that, but we would be given a very poor rating, and probably dropped in level for it as well. Very bad precedent set here, very bad. Now, all these bozos in the dugout/coach's box/stands will be hollering for us to get help and reverse our foul calls because they "saw it on TV."

They can get away with just about anything. The players can't afford to all be ejected, they have all kinds of security, sure they might throw out one or two but that's about it. In our world, we would be running for our lives on a call like this and have to forfeit the game due to all the ejections and so forth. thanks David |

Define "afford" as it pertains to the MLB players. Thanks.
