The Gods of Baseball got that game correct. The Tigers' F3 had no business fielding the ball. Had the F3 allowed F4 to field the grounder the B/R runner would have been out F4 to F3 by 30 feet. Both Mark, Jr., and Andy (my younger son, and both F3's in their playing days) both said that the very first time they saw the play.

P.S. Besides the Tigers' F1 appeared to bobble the throw.
Jim Joyce looked at replay and admitted he blew the call. What are missing, Mark?

Or Don Denkinger in the WS.
Or Richie Garcia on the Jeter HR/Interference in the playoffs?
Nope - competent umpires never miss a call do they?
Well put. Some people don't ever miss.

How many people on this thread have worked a game where replay review was involved?

1) No, they are not. They are declaring finality to a system that involves players and umpires from around the globe. They have experienced problems prior and seek to have a means to address it. That is all it is.
2) Anyone who has been through pro school or worked in the Minors knows this type of scrutiny exists.
3) I find it funny that umpires would ridicule those who have achieved the highest accolade in small ball - the opportunity to work the LLWS. Those umpires work without pay for years, finance their way through tournaments and when called, pay for the Williamsport trip too. It is a proud moment for youth officials and hardly warrants suck attack from others. I don't work small ball but believe that the crews who worked this year did a great job. Making fun of them and their achievement is petty. Do you also ridicule the CWS crews that worked this year?
4) We dedicated a thread to congratulating Bob on winning an award in Illinois this year. Why is it so hard to simply do the same to those who worked the LLWS?
