Yes it is. The rule is that the ball is in the glove before it hits the glove. It just has to be inside of it.

That's dumb

 

[zeppelin128]

Sigh

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Seems like he should have been able to beat that out.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

I think I’m taking a break. This is unreal.

 

[volplaya8]

Long stride

Yep….damn

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Tie to the runner? If so safe

Ain't that a myth? Asking for a friend.

 

[theroyz71]

Assholes blew that one.

No they didn't. He was out.

 

[Caz]

The ole Achilles heel rears it’s head again by leaving all these runners in scoring position on base. We still have life though

 

[Go47]

He was out. It was the right call.

 

[Aerie Vol]

Yes it is. The rule is that the ball is in the glove before it hits the glove. It just has to be inside of it.

Is it? I thought the rule was the ball had to be in contact with the glove?

 

[87&91ALUM]

Yep, the right call.

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

No they didn't. He was out.

Yep. At best, it was a dead on tie. Call would stand.

 

[spyfish007]

Ain't that a myth?

Playground rules. No tie in organized ball.

 

[SugarVols]

No we’re not

Still think so sparky ?

 

[volplaya8]

I think I’m taking a break. This is unreal.

Stick around…we are fine here

 

[TheBigOne10]

Don’t feel good if this goes to tomorrow

 

[RockyTop140]

We’re crapping ourselves with runners in scoring position.

 

[BigALWiLson]

Assholes blew that one.

It wasnt blown. Call was correct. Why though did we have the stupid double base last week and not now ?

 

[AthensVol2007]

Assholes blew that one.

Blatantly out. Striding to the middle top of the bag killed him.

 

[KnoxtotheBoro20]

Just not getting the guys today when it matters. Killing us

 

[Weezer]

Maybe not even half a step, more like a quarter step. Ball was just barely there before DD.

 

[RAVOL]

Seems like he should have been able to beat that out.

Yes I was surprised it was close must have not got out of box quickly

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Assholes blew that one.

Not really.

Also it's as old as the game, you don't want the refs/umps being a factor? Take care of what you can. Vols have done a really pathetic job of that and only have themselves to blame. We're stranded way too many damn runners.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Is it? I thought the rule was the ball had to be in contact with the glove?

No, just inside the glove period. Went through this last super regional too.

 

[2EastTnVols]

If he doesn't step on middle of the bag he's safe
