Kavares Tears 7th inning Double was a Home Run?

[StarRaider]

No offense, but if you were sitting in CF stands,how do you see the ball in relation to the line? Also, depending on how high above the contact point you were, there can be a skewed angle.

I was sitting at home in DrewBeamBoro....

Yeah, I was referring to the Reddit person, not you. Sorry about that.

I stand corrected.

How the heck did the umps not hear the ball hit the metal?

How did nobody in the bullpen, dugout, etc., not jump up and down screaming for a replay there?

Was CTV out of challenges at that point?

they even have 2 extra outfield umpires in the for the finals. All the focus was on the slide and the ricochet off the mesh fence was admittedly hard to see live.

Focus on the slide with a ball flying toward the yellow line? The slide was much later in time.

Making too much sense now.

time to shut it down for the evening.

That’s a pretty weak excuse because the landing of the ball came well before the slide (the ball was already at the plate by then). But, it wouldn’t be the first time for poor umpiring.

Once it didn’t matter, scoreboard, I dropped it. I’ve seen plenty of terrible calls participating in beisbol.

Trust me. I love an opportunity to post Daddy hat cleavage…

Clearly, this is a Home Run!!

Agreed. They shouldn‘t have missed it. My point was the reviews and replays (not the umpires) were all focused on the slide.

Now that it’s all over, I wonder if the A&M outfielders would admit it should have been a HR. If you were chasing down a ball and saw it from 10 ft away, you should know where it struck the wall.

If Lavoilette had transferred to UT, he could’ve admitted it.

From the other thread

Good point regarding review IF he was called out at home, but umpires should have focused on the action in the sequence it happened, first things first. Slide was responsibility of the home plate ump; what were the other 3 doing?

Yes sir it is! Don't know about the ballgame though

 

[Vol_sanity]

I was in the outfield for the 1st game, then moved to seats down the RF foul line for game 3. I do not think this was a homerun, and what most do not realize is the metal fence and mesh above the wall is about 2 feet back from the wall(yellow line). I think, because of this, the ball would have had to hit very high on the fencing to clear the wall on the return bounce and get back to Jace the way it did. I attached a photo to show the gap

[Mccage]

We’re we out of challenges?

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Shouldn't have such a weird configuration for the wall so it would never be an issue.

 

[BruisedOrange]

We are now.

 

[AndyMizunogolfer]

Looks like all of the replays show it to be a HR. He doesn't generally put a big launch angle on the ball, so it would make a lot of sense that if it did hit that fence it would bounce back really hard into the field. At this point it doesn't really matter much though.

 

[BruisedOrange]

I'm sure the camera didn't stay on them long enough to see their reactions, but these Aggie fans were close enough to both see and hear where it hit. Their emotional deflation upon seeing a home run [congratulations to self for not saying "Tennessee dong"] would have confirmed the OP's post mortem hypothesis.

Disregard any Tennessee fans' reactions, as what we see runs the gamut from sunshine pumper's "the ball cleared the stadium" to BVS despairing "sticker probably fell off the bat."

I’m not going to get onto the umpires too much on this one. As another poster pointed out above, it is a bad configuration.

The fact that we didn’t challenge it shows that it wasn’t obvious.

I went back a while ago and between the granularity of my DVR and the twitch speed of my fingers I can’t see anything definitive either way after at least 20 minutes of trying. Glad it is not needed.

An inside joke from last year. Following a loss, a driveby offered their sage evaluation of the coaching staff. It stuck with the beisbol guys.
…wooden bat game(?)

Could the umps have requested a review? Thought late game for certain rulings, like boundary, they could. If Yes, then I still have an ump issue. A big one .
