I see one missed call on the play -- what was the second?
And, I've often postulated that the ball off the back foot was hard to see -- you get blocked out. But, I'm surprised one of the BUs didn't have it. |

I guess it all boils down to missing the ball hitting his foot. So you're right, it's just 1 missed call, which is 1 too many.
I thought by looking at the replay that the HP umpire acnowledged the ball hit him but i guess he didn't. Last edited by rbmartin; Wed Jul 31, 2013 at 08:07am. |

Might've been tough for them to see as well. Probably hard to discern if the ball came off the batter's leg or the catcher's mitt.
OTOH, someone should have noticed when the batter raised his foot after getting plunked. ![]()

The angle the ball took after hitting his foot and his lifting of his foot after being hit should have been enough evidence to call him out. Easy to call from my kitchen table. Not so much on the field.
