Yeah, I agree he wasn’t robbed. I don’t agree with that wording at all.

Not sure I agree with knowing exactly where that ball was going.

No you haven’t, you just keep saying it’s a shitty rule and that it took a home run away when it literally was not a home run and you can’t assume it was either.

At an uninterrupted physics projection of ~379 feet, the ball's extremely steep, near-vertical descent means it would have dropped directly onto the warning track, just short of clearing the 8-foot wall in left-center field


I don’t know what bullshite that was from but the ball hit the roof still on the way up and came steeply down right after and still almost made the warning track. That was an upperdecker.

That was direct from MLB stat cast. I think the 325 number is the traveled distance.

To the eye it looked like it would have went out.

But based on the exit velocity and launch angle, the math says it's very unlikely.

That makes sense. They know they screwed up. The coverup is on.

Statcast has it at 325’. The wall is 342’. It was most definitely going to be a home run had the cable not been hit. It is a horrible rule especially with the technology that we have. It needs to be revisited this offseason. If that were game 7 of a World Series shite would hit the fan. But for now… everyone has to accept it.
