Season ends on BS paid-off call

IMO, anyway.

Did anyone see that bogus run score to end the one-game playoff tonight? The Padre catcher's foot was completely blocking the plate, and the Rockies' runner's hand smashed into it and glanced away. He did NOT score, except in one tired ump's mind. He CLEARLY just wanted to get out of there, unless the league office or some mobster paid him off.

:bs: This is a miscarriage of justice on a par with that forward lateral in the playoffs.
 
That's what makes baseball baseball. It indeed wasn't a run but what is baseball without the possibility of a blown call. Would you like them to replay the whole 13th so your team wins? Ask the fans of the Buffalo Sabres about blown calls. Theres was a little more obvious than an umpire behind the catcher.
 
Take your California blinders off. :laugh:

Did you see the HR that wasn't? Watch ESPN this morning, they are showing it hit a seat or wheelchair BEYOND the yellow padding on top of the wall.

Really, it shouldn't even have gone to extra innings.

As a Dodger fan whom the Rockies punished in the last week and a 1/2 of the season...GO ROCKIES. :dance:
 
...what about the home run that Atkins hit that was ruled a double? If you watch the replays you'll see that NO ONE knows if Holliday scored for sure, but what the ump says, goes, and my Rockies are in the motherfrickin' playoffs!!! I didn't figure there was any way in hell Helton would let the team no go to the playoffs being this close. And I think they have a real shot at beating Philadelphia. Philly doesn't have a great rotation or offense (comparatively speaking). The Rockies patched together a rotation that includes Mark Redman (WTF??) and are still winning. I like their odds going to the NLCS.
 
I was hoping San Diego would win only because a former Griz has a kid on the team.

Not to hijack my own thread, but forget Mark Redman. I'd rather hear from Matt Redman.

:laugh:

Incidentally, you all make very good points. Yes, that ball was freaking gone. That one kinda reminds me of the commercial where the 3B ump was too busy flirting with two hotties in the stands to see whether a homer was fair or foul. I was speaking strictly in terms of the 13th inning. A decent replay system would have overturned that and allowed the inning to continue. The thing is, though, given the way the Rockies were hitting Mr. Bells, overturning that bogus call may not have made any difference. And, yes, if that homer call had been reviewed, the game wouldn't have gotten out of regulation. Both calls were slam-dunks, and the umps blew both of them. I can't believe that we pay these guys.

And to think I used to be anti-replay. My, how things change.
 
Didn't I just say that? Didn't GRZFTBL and Mr. Titleist just say that?

Pay attention, dude!

Sheesh!

:loser:

:naughty: NOOOOOOOOOO. It's the last purest game out there. No clock, no replay.
 
replay is no fun IMO.

2: The San Diego Catcher sure acted like he didn't get the plate blocked so why be a bitch about the entire matter?

:shocked: I don't think he is. He admitted the HR that wasn't, was. :laugh: :thumb:

I guess I missed the forum rule that stated that only one board member could post a specific opinion.
 
San Diego's manager thought Holliday touched the plate. With the cloud of dust, a replay would not have resolved whether Holliday actually got his hand under the catcher's foot. The missed homer call would have been corrected with a replay. The ball hit a chair behind the fence. How the umps concluded that a ball would bounce 30 feet into the air after hitting the pad at the top of the fence is a mystery to me. As a footnote, the Rockies just finished polishing off the Phils! Winning 17 out of 18 isn't too bad! :thumb:
