I can blame the umps anytime they make the wrong call and it alters the outcome. Fan card revoked. What a dumb post.

If the call were made immediately, I wouldn't have been nearly as upset.

They got together and discussed it and not a one of them could have been certain that they saw the catcher touch the plate. I doubt they even applied the right standard.

It would have been different had they realized it when it happened, stopped the game, and made the call.

I agree 100%. They called him out when it happened. The team was back in the dugout. To then get together and apply this non-reviewable rule - after nobody called it in real time - is horse shite. I would like to know what exactly led to the officials getting together in the first place.

I get that a replay review is different than the officials huddling up to get a call right, but they shouldn’t be making a judgement call after the fact without replay.. especially when there’s no way to challenge in case they got it wrong.

You can blame the fricking Umps.

They made a judgement call amongst themselves 2 minutes after the play was over on something you cannot review on a challenge.

By the letter of the rule, it wasn’t a balk/interference.

1) called “ball” a couple of minutes after the play. Had no idea anything may be wrong at the time the play occurred.

2) Runner never touched home plate. Runners have been known to hit home runs, get mobbed, not touch home plate and be called out. Any way you look at it, it was a clown show the way it was handled.

It wasn’t even a close play for the actual out. So I can 100% blame the ump for trying to apply an obscure ruling.

He is going through all of the threads on the first 2 pages and downvoting everyone. He knows he is 100% wrong.

You absolutely can blame them. The batter wasn’t even in the box to be interfered with and the play wasn’t close. If you’re going to make the call in that situation it better be an egregious violation and it clearly wasn’t even one at all.

Requires him to “see” something that didn’t happen. Tough call but he made it up in his head that Neal did something he didn’t do. frick that ump

It wasn’t close at all. That’s what makes it so egregious.

didn't the SC mgr call it to the umps attention??

Or did he call the runner safe first? - if so, what was the SC mgr griping about?

If it’s close you don’t go out on a limb to make an overzealous attention seeking call like that because you want to insert yourself into the game. If you’re even thinking about calling some ticky tack bullshite like when the guy was out by 5 steps it better be so damn obvious the whole stadium sees it

Based on the postgame, yes south carolina coaches brought it up to the umps in between innings, so yeah, they definitely never saw it live and i just guessed that neal was on the plate
