Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[JCVol00]

After looking at this, this is one of those calls that either side would be getting the shaft. Im not happy about it but it wasn’t necessarily a terrible call, say this happened in the 5th inning it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But it was a winning run that would be effected by it so they probably were more picky with it.

What Tony V wants is doable. It's not elaborate, and it works within the footprint. I haven't heard anybody say it's unreasonable.

But the doable has to be done.

How can we help?

Enough room for 2 more dogs.

Dogs don’t belong in human beds

This is an inaccurate statement.

If you know anything about baseball you would understand that call should have never been made.

I don't understand why, but I can't stop laughing.

This escalated quickly!

I’ll admit I know more about football than baseball, but if you look his arm does affect the 2nd baseman while throwing the ball, while it could’ve easily not been called, I feel like if the roles were reversed we would want it called tbh

Furgy slid straight at the base. To much leeway is given to the defense in this case. I call it a ******** call.

Fyp.

Haven’t heard anything. Will let you know if I do

 

[tnvols72]

Not in my opinion. I literally said "interference" out loud before the ball got to first base while watching it live.

He slid right at the bag, and threw his arm right into the guys groin who wasn't going to touch him otherwise. It was obvious to me he meant to get in the way. And not for nothing... He did. The fielder fell down trying to lean away from his arm and that caused the throw to be high. It isn't as if the runner was going to easily beat it no matter what.

 

[tnvols72]

The fielder got knocked perpendicular to the slide. It wasn't the force of his slide, it was the force of his punch in a different direction from the slide.

The fielders body never changed direction and there was no punch. He did his job and they got bailed out

I post this with a heavy heart today. My mother-in-law passed away this morning. She was a wonderful person with a heart of gold who lived a long and prosperous life--(96) years. Her body just couldn't go any more . My wife is having a difficult time today but she's a strong person and understands that her mom is in a much better place today. I've heard all the horror stories about mother-in-law's but she was truly a gift in my life. She will definitely be missed. RIP mom.

Prayers

You can argue back and forth on "intent" all you want. The fact that well intentioned people watching the same video reach totally different conclusions says that what happened was too vague for an umpire to get involved. The rule of thumb in officiating should always be when in doubt, err on the side of a no-call.

Well, yeah-- unless you are playing Alabama and Birmingham makes the final decision.

 

[OrangenSC]

Here's the clear shot. I just don't see how you can say this is not interference.

Just forget intent for a moment. Was the second basemen in the basepath? No. Did the slide affect the throw? Yes. Comon' you guys lol.

Sorry, but you sound clueless about how baseball is played. You’ve tried every rationale imaginable to make this the right call and none of them make sense.

It sounds like you’re just trying to argue. Or maybe you’re just trolling.

 

[Smokeytom]

Call was total BS. But seeing Vitello clearly say to the ump “you think he punched him in the balls?!?” Priceless.

 

[Catbone]

Too bad that’s happened a million times without an interference call.

Bingo

I don't think it's that close. It never should have been made.

Alright boys and girl’s. See y’all in 2 weeks headed to Guatemala.

Yeah they bailed out the second baseman for not getting out of the base path correctly.
