Nutriaitch Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 11 minutes ago, LSUDad said: so here is my take, or rather questions on the call. take out the judgement on whether or not Neal stepped on or in front of the plate. what TV didn't show is when did the call begin to get discussed? the Home Plate umpire did not make the call in real time, and actually signaled the runner was out. what happened next? did USCe coach ask about the call? because it's not reviewable. did one of the other umps say "hey, quick question....."? because that I THINK is allowable. did the home plate ump ask on of the others for clarification? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the call is not reviewable his signal should have been the end of the story. Love to be on the winning side of a game that ends that way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big T Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 15 minutes ago, Nutriaitch said: which is not protestable It needs to be! Any call that can put a run on the board should be able to be challenged. Applied correctly or not he did not commit the foul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 The problem I have is that the plate umpire who was right on top of it first reaction was “runner out”. He should have been out. But what’s a baseball game without some controversy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been out. But what’s a baseball game without some controversy? there is one, and only ONE scenario I can come up with to explain that. Umpire 1 makes a call based on what he sees. after the call, Umpire 2 comes over and asks him what he saw and Umpire 1 tells him. Umpire 2 (or 3 or 4) then says "wait a minute, then by rule ......" in this scenario, the call was and what happened was not reviewed, but the implementation of the rule was discussed and "corrected" completely different types of plays, but in my years of playing and coaching, I have seen this scenario play out multiple times. even seen where myself as a coach brought up a rule and had a call changed. Not based on umps changing what they think happened, but based on what the rule says about what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
