Kudos to all of us

Video is inconclusive. The umpires win this one.

I too, can't believe a thread hasn't started yet. This shall be a thread about nothing.

Curved around the outside corners and was rising to the left but, I could clearly see from my vantage point what the call really was?

[MrUmpire]

He obviously stepped more to home than first.

[MD Longhorn]

True, and I can scientifically prove that the ball does, in fact, rise at it approaches home plate.

[jicecone]

Technically though, you can't apply that same theory to a ball traveling away from the plate because the kinetic energy losses can not be overcome by gravitational misgiving not excecuted at the time of the pitch.

KE=1/2mv, unless used in a conscientiously applied program of oral hygiene or dental health.

Foul Ball, Do Over. And thats my final answer.

No, no no. What you're forgetting is that it's all about spin, not gravity. Bernoulli's Principle shows us that the pressure and thus the friction on a spinning object is lower on the side that is spinning opposite the direction of motion. This same principle explains why the Astros, when their season was spiralling more and more rapidly out of control, when removing the friction of their best players being on the block, had a sudden decrease in pressure, thus changing the direction of the team - leading to the current 6-1 run. It was the spinning out of control, and not the gravity of the situation that caused it to turn.

You have been in the Texas heat and humidity much too long.

Bernoulli was never an umpire....

Please, Not the RISING FASTBALL again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
