Let's revisit Breaux's fair/foul ball in the 9th

I saw it live, looked so foul, then saw replay, looked fair. I can see how it was overturned. We are all human.

Really should have been caught. No replay needed.

I mean if you look at the second part of the gif and basically draw a line down from where he touches the ball you can see that his right foot lands damn near in the same vertical line. If anything, his right foot looks short of that vertical line, which would put the ball about a foot foul.

The ball obviously needs to be caught, but how the hell do you overturn it with this kind of shite.

If you could stop the tape, look where his feet are when he touches the ball you could get a better idea of where the ball is.

Umps don't understand angles and the visual deception it creates. No way to tell when camera isn't down the line.

it was clearly fair in both clips, you can tell from where his body and glove are that he is in fair territory. Despite them awarding him 2nd base, we likely caught a break cause Reed probably would have been on 3rd had the call been right from the onset.

he left the ground and landed in foul territory and the ball was clearly foul.

There was a third angle which they only showed for a second on tv, and it was from the left field camera behind the play. From that angle it looked foul for sure. The problem with the overrule is that in all three camera angles it is clear that the umpire in perfect position, paying attention, looking down the line directly at the play to make that call. The camera angles were not nearly as good as the umpire's view. I can't tell conclusively, so it should have been the umpire's call.

Easily a fair ball. Good overturn.

It looks like it's inconclusive so I am still surprised they ruled definitively on such a play that was originally called foul

I just can't see how you can say for sure which way it truly lands.
