I love watching ejection clips. Reaffirms my faith in mankind. People that think we have nothing to learn from MLB umpires are wrong. There are many things, both good and bad, that can be learned from watching every bit of video available.

So I guess you saw yet another missed play at the plate at Petco this evening.

This was in the bottom of the 5th. Barksdale was booed on every pitch for 2 more innings. Funny as hell.

I saw that replay on BB Tonight, but I called my wife right after the play, and then later she told me that they showed several angles, and one clearly showed his hand hitting the plate. I even questioned her about it after watching the replay, and she was pretty adamant. So was Tony Gwynn. So was Dick Williams. And they're usually pretty unbiased and objective.

Not one angle was from ground or eye level. Barksdale is reputed to have said the hand never touched "down." I couldn't tell from any of the replays.

Wow! I know I'm a fourth generation San Diegan, but still his hand was clearly on the middle of the dish. Ask Eckstein, who was pleading with the PU "I promise you, I promise you!". Now that was funny.
And once the replay was played on some of the monitors, word got around pretty quickly about it. Hats off to Padres fans for not letting up. Usually they're pretty, um, laid back compared to more savvy fans. Yup, two blown plate calls, two days in a row. |

If my wife says she saw his hand touch the plate, trust me, he touched the plate. She is not prone to exaggeration.

I simply said that none of the replays I saw were from the same level as Barksdale's view. I believe it is possible that Barksdale was correct in saying the hand passed over the plate. If that is true, it simply means that your wife, due to the limits of the camera angles, could be mistaken. Or Barksdale could be mistaken. Or, using your logic, Barksdale could be lying. Personally, I doubt anyone is lying about this. They are all probably telling the truth that their eyes revealed to them. |
