Re: 9/3 - 9/9 Game Discussion Thread
That's incorrect. This is from MLB.com and is a bit misstated as it was the 1B ump who misread it. Why he is making a call at all in a ball hit to CF on a line drive, I have no idea:
"Both teams were scoreless through three, before the Phillies scraped their lone run across in the fourth, led off by a one-out double from Chase Utley.
Ryan Howard was hit by a Latos pitch and John Mayberry Jr. drew a walk on a full count to load the bases. Domonic Brown watched four straight balls go by as Latos walked in the first run of the game.
The one-out threat was thwarted by a missed call on the next at-bat that ended in a double play. Nate Schierholtz lined a ball to shallow center in front of a charging Drew Stubbs.
Stubbs fielded the ball right as it was bouncing on a bang-bang play, but came up firing to second. The Phillies baserunners froze, not knowing if the ball bounced or was caught.
Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips touched second and threw to catcher Ryan Hanigan, who also touched home plate. If Stubbs had not caught the ball, the play at home would not have been a forceout, since Phillips previously touched second.
But the umpires ruled that Stubbs caught the ball in the air and doubled off Mayberry at second to end the inning. Upon further slow motion replay, the ball clearly took a small bounce before Stubbs fielded it.
The Phillies walked away with just one run in the frame, and the miscue would prove to be costly."
Regardless, lack of run support did not help.
Congrats to Rollins on his 2,000.... a double at that. Great accomplishment.Comment

The Blue Jays are so pathetic. It's clear that the lights are on but no one's home. What a way to end the year.
