If someone sees something that I dont please tell me but I clearly see Patterson getting tagged BEFORE he retouchs third base.

I already said that I didn't know the damn rule when I said that it was righteous call. And I also already said that Pattersen was tagged before he touched the bag and Martinez was on the bag when he was tagged.

Whatinthehell more do you want? Sackcloth and freaking ashes?

Lah me......

Patterson was tagged off the bag. At that point, Martinez is entitled to the bag, and is occupying it. It doesn't matter if he is tagged or not at that point; he is standing on a base to which he is legally entitled.

BK47, you're not missing anything. Only Wolf is--the call.

Here's what I see in the video:

R3 breaks for home and gets in a run-down. R2 advances to 3rd and remains touching it throughout the play. R3 is chased back to third, and reaches it before being tagged. With both runners touching 3rd, R3 is tagged and then R2 is tagged, perhaps accidentally, but tagged all the same. R2 is called out. But R3 has already gotten up and has started for the dugout, and he is subsequently tagged out.

So what is the problem?

[Publius]

R3 (Patterson) did not reach the base before being tagged. See :55-:57 for a clear view.

There was no basis to rule Martinez out.

[Dave Reed]

Watch instead from 9-15 seconds--there is clear daylight until well after R3 reaches the base. No way there is a tag.
