That ref should be fired. you cant give away a game.

Would you see anything different in any other city? A shocking call in an elimination game, in the bottom of the 8th, when the home team load the bases while down by three?

EagleFan · 10-05-2012, 06:59 PM

What? This doesn't get a thread of its own?

Good title...

Fans are Idiots, Guess Where?

PilotMan · 10-05-2012, 07:00 PM

That was a total joke, and I can understand the response, that was a total fuck job.

Scoobz0202 · 10-05-2012, 07:05 PM

What a shitty fucking game this turned out to be

PilotMan · 10-05-2012, 07:06 PM

Horrible game if it turns out this is Chipper's final game.

claphamsa · 10-05-2012, 07:07 PM

is it any less of a travesty, simply because the braves had no chance anyways?

What a horrible, horrible call.

GoldenEagle · 10-05-2012, 07:12 PM

It was not that bad of a call. Kozma parked under it to where it was an easy catch.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 07:12 PM

Good things Atlanta fans don't care about baseball. If this was real fans, an umpire would have been dead.

kingfc22 · 10-05-2012, 07:12 PM

Hey idiots. Stop throwing shit so your team can try to score.

Then call it, dot wait until he moves out of the way.

It was a ball hit to the outfield...not the infield. That isn't called with 4 umpires, it shouldn't be called with 6.

PilotMan · 10-05-2012, 07:16 PM

Classic case of adrenaline and overthrowing here.

There are plenty of balls hit to the outfield that are called infield fly.

GoldenEagle · 10-05-2012, 07:20 PM

Good lesson taught by Motte to the Braves fans that throwing shit on the field does not win. He even teased them by walking and going behind.

And then nothing but straight gas.

mauchow · 10-05-2012, 07:21 PM

Horrible call in every possible way. It was NOT any easy catch as you just saw because he didn't fucking catch it..that's to whoever said it was easy. Its the playoffs. Nerves count. Just look at Hamilton's drop the other day. As routine as it gets.

mauchow · 10-05-2012, 07:22 PM

No defending the call just like the packer Seahawks game.

Not like that. I have never seen such a deep ball called on the infield fly.

larrymcg421 · 10-05-2012, 07:23 PM

From MLB rules about Infield Fly:

The umpire’s judgment must govern, and the decision should be made immediately.

Can you point to the rule that tells umps to consider nerves when evaluating the infield fly rule?

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 07:23 PM

The reds should keep Billy Hamilton at short, then ever home run would have to be an infield fly.

Sun Tzu · 10-05-2012, 07:24 PM

Meh...questionable call, but I can see where he was coming from. It certainly looked like an easy catch up until he abandoned it.

Either way, sucks to be Braves fan for several reasons tonight...not the least of which is nearly approaching the classlessness of Philadelphia fans.

Danny · 10-05-2012, 07:26 PM

What an awful awful call. That ball was not to the shallow infield, it was well into the outfielder and he was moving over to get it.

Wait, are you suggesting the Braves should be given the win due to one horrible call despite being down 3 at that point. I'm a braves fan and I don't believe that

The Cards SS broke away before the call was even made as well. At least I think he did.

Yeah...I mean, it wasn't the greatest call ever, but the Braves have been playing like shit all night. Absolute best case scenario there, in my opinion, was 2 runs.

Scoobz0202 · 10-05-2012, 07:31 PM

bronconick · 10-05-2012, 07:31 PM

Dude waited until the ball hit the ground to start waving his arm for an infield fly. Should have been calling it when it was in the air instead of bailing out the fielder.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 07:32 PM

Well, good for chipper

bob · 10-05-2012, 07:32 PM

My opinion is that if they didn't overturn the final out of a perfect game, it'll require an insane number of bad calls that were obviously neglegent or intentional to cause a change in any game going forward

GoldenEagle · 10-05-2012, 07:33 PM

That was an equally horrible call.

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 07:34 PM

Really, I have to hope for Uggla

I am not sure that he was suggesting that the Braves should be awarded the win, rather that the game should be replayed from the point of the bad call.

Ah that makes more sense

Easy Mac · 10-05-2012, 07:39 PM

The Braves lost it, but fuck did the umps help make sure.

PilotMan · 10-05-2012, 07:41 PM

I do love the new playoff format that it puts more emphasis on winning the division, and forces the WC to burn players on an all or nothing game before they play the LDS games.

PilotMan · 10-05-2012, 07:41 PM

Damn, now I'm down to just the Reds.

Sun Tzu · 10-05-2012, 07:42 PM

Well, baseball fans have six months of bitching from Braves fans to look forward to.

ugh

Really? This was necessary? You're more troll like than I'll ever be.

bob · 10-05-2012, 07:44 PM

I don't know too much about appeals / protests (see my previous posts) but can you appeal a judgement call like this?

Radio just said when the umps disappeared after the incident it was to deal with the appeal, which in the playoffs is handled right there and then (obviously denied).

larrymcg421 · 10-05-2012, 07:46 PM

Yeah the anger isn't about the umps costing the Braves the win. It's about a rally being hurt by a horrible call that isn't even close to being correct (even if you accept the umpire's judgment on the easiness of the call, it wasn't made immediately)

YOu said it was an easy catch, it wasn't, let them play ball and don't affect the game with an awful call.

He bailed the SS out since he called it a split second AFTER the SS pulled off.

Well the fact of the matter is that one out, bases loaded is a different position strategically than 2 on and 2 out. The pitcher and hitter each approach the at bat very differently than they would have otherwise.
