Oh my God... this. Calvin Schiraldi must go to bed every night and thank God for Bill Buckner.
Rich Gedman was the hitting coach for the Salem Red Sox in 2012 when I was working in the Carolina League. I never asked him about that play, but a lot of people think it should have been a passed ball instead of a wild pitch.

That's more opinion than fact. But, if it makes you feel better, we'll accept it.

The obvious one that comes to mind is Bill Buckner's error. That wasn't the deciding game of the series. The Mets still had to win game 7.
Also, the game was tied when he missed that ball. That would not have been a clinching World Series out. Boston gave up 3 runs in that inning, and the tying run came in on a Wild Pitch.

The Seahawks throwing the ball at the goal line was the right call.
Edit: I'm saying that people say it was the wrong call. I'm saying right call.

Wait, you're saying the pass was the right call even though it ended up being an INT?
I could allow that a pass play was the right call, but arguing that that particular pass play was the right call is a bit of an uphill battle.
I'm guessing you will argue that the DB made a freak play?

More importantly, the game was already tied when he made the error.
This times 1000. The real GOAT was the reliever who had a 2 run lead in the bottom of the 10th with 2 outs and nobody on base. 3 straight base hits plus a wild pitch tied the game and had the winning run on 2nd base. It boggles my mind that whoever it was (you see, nobody talks about him) blew that game and remains anonymous.
Edit: Just finishing reading the previous posts, Calvin Schiraldi.

Marshawn was there the whole time.

It wasn't a freak play, but that ball is a TD 30% of the time, is incomplete 68% of the time and is intercepted 2% of the time.
Just sayin.

Right. It would have been for the Red Sox, though.

Rudy wasn't offsides

In other words, 70% unsuccessful.
I'm pig headed, on 2nd and goal from the 1, I'm running Marshawn. Then again. Then again.
Maybe sneak a bootleg in there...maybe. If he wasn't beasting at that point in time, I'd be more open to other things, but he was trucking at that point.
As for Marshawn "being open." Well, maybe he was, but it seems like Wilson wasn't supposed to make any reads but the one. Lynch was/is a false option on the play IMO.

Well with the interception, no shite it wasn't the right call. But presnap, you're thinking TD or incomplete. Throwing an incompletion there was the only thing that guaranteed Lynch getting the ball twice because they had one time out left.
If you run there and get stopped, you have to burn time out. Then if stuffed again on a run, game over.

I'll actually go even further. Even if Bill Buckner fields the ball cleanly he doesn't beat Mookie Wilson to first base and the Mets win anyways

Dez caught it.

That Jordan's shot in New Orleans was the biggest play to win that game vs Georgetown. You always hear Jordan hit the game winner. Well If Worthy doesn't catch the pass thrown to him by Brown, Georgetown probably wins that game.
I think Worthy had 30 in the Championship game.

Oh ya, that's right. Forgot the timeout thingy.
Lynch was still a false option on the pass play though. Ball was never going that way.
ETA: I need to come up with a misconception to not derail the thread.

The Denkinger call wasn't the deciding game, either. A lot of people think it was.
Posted on 8/28/15 at 12:23 pm to Teddy Ruxpin
Something people forget and that dumbass commentators don't realize is that the patriots sent in more CBs that very play expecting pass. Serious FB people know that you have to pass there.
Pats just made a great play.
