Oops who caught the ball?
Watching ESPN and seeing the play at first with Tx and Seattle that the F1 going to cover at first caught the ball instead of F3 etc, Crazy play but the BU called runner out, then the manager went out to argue about a pulled foot and he didn't see that F3 never caught the ball - have to admit it is hilarious.

Don't know why none of the other umpires didn't see it either ...

Thanks
David

Here's the link: Missed call leads to unusual debut for Seattle Mariners' Jesus Sucre | MLB.com: News

Also, watch F1's foot.... even if he did catch the ball, he was clearly off the bag.

The article said it was originally scored 3-6-3, but was later revised to 3-6-1.

No, Moreland CLEARLY did not come off the bag until AFTER he failed to catch the ball.

And there was no umpire discussion? I guess the Mariner's manager was just too timid.

He didn't know that's what happened either.

I think this was such an unusual play that no one would have thought this is actually what happened unless they saw the tape. That is why everything stood it appears.

Peace

Well, I'm a little surprised, especially given that after F1 caught the ball, he looked over to check the runner at third, pulling the ball out of the glove in the process. You would think that one of the four umpires should have seen that, particularly the PU, who would be looking that way anyway for a pulled foot.
