Tigers vs Yankees Blown call at 2B

3. A pitching change was made. The removed pitcher had given up three hits, no walks and one (really unearned) run over eight innings.

4. The Tigers took the field in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead rather than a one-run lead. Do you think the pitching strategy might have changed a bit?

Would the Yanks have won the game had the call been correct? Probably not (especially with their pathetic bats). But to say it didn't matter is ridiculous. Ask Jeff Nelson if it mattered.

All that aside, if the Yankees hit the ball and scored in innings 1-8, there wouldn't be a problem. So as I said, if 1 bad call blows your game, you didn't play hard enough!

This play did not cost the Yanks the game.

But, your comment is silly.

What if it is a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, the home team scores a run on a foul ball ruled to be a HR.

Did one bad call blow the game?

This is a bad miss and the umpire is moving and likely misses the perspective to make the call. We have all been there, but I would expect a little better mechanic from an MLB umpire that does not have to get to another base like most of us do in our games. Oh well, another day another dollar.

My friend, your job as a team is to score runs. If you wait until the last inning to do anything, it is not the fault of the umpire. I don't care what your situation is, if you sit on your duff and don't do your job as a team, don't come running to me if I blow 1 call! So JW, I guess your response to mine is what is silly.
