Halladay tried to bunt (if that is what you want to call it) over the runners. He looked as inept as Charlie Manual attempting a handstand.

An excuse-me attempt hit in front of the left corner, backspinned across the plate and certainly seemed off the plate in foul territory and the PU ruled it fair. Catcher threw to 3B for a force, but F5 couldn't get back to the base quick enough. Fortunately, Halladay didn't run and they threw him out at 1B. Turned out, the Phillies ended up scoring 3 runs.

Didn't MLB expand replay for fair/foul, or is that just on over-the-fence balls?

I agree it did look foul, although if you remember, I was taken to task a couple of years ago when I brought up a play on television. The play involved a girl stepping way out of the 24" pitching lane and the view was from straight behind home plate. The concensus on this board said that tv gives a distorted view and angle of plays, and that a person shouldn't use that as a basis for if a call was wrong or not. Did we see this play on some special tv that makes everything acurate? Dave
