The call looked bad...but that call didn't cost you the game. You already had one out and were 3 runs down. It may have screwed the momentum, but odds are the Cards would have got out of that inning ahead anyhow.

I never said it cost us the game, I agree that it didn't. Errors and just overall bad baseball cost us the game however that call certainly did not help our chances at a comeback. My main problem with the call is the tardiness of it. If he called it immediately off the bat I would get it. Yet he waited until the ball was almost catchable, at that point he should have realized that it was deep enough that the base runners had no need for protection. As long as he waited he had plenty of time to correctly judge the safety of the best runners (that is the sole reason that the rule is even in place after all ). He fricked up plain and simple.

However if the braves wouldn't have had multiple frick ups earlier in the game they wouldn't have been in that situation to begin with.
