Ahh, sorry.

I don't see how it could have counted as a catch. But then again there's the Jeter play where he ended up in the stands in foul territory. Who knows.

Oh no I'm glad someone brought it up again. Maybe it's that no one knows the answer.

If Coco would have caught Ramon's home-run, would it have counted as an out?

You can't make an out out of the field of play, but what if he caught it before he flipped over the fence?

Just thinking out loud here, anyone know the answer?

I'm pretty sure it is an out, the same as if you catch a ball in fair territory and fall into the stands. I remember this from the play Komminsk almost made on Cal at Memorial Stadium. Komminsk definitely caught the ball, but dropped it after he went over the fence. He couldn't show the ball to the umpire, so Ripken was ruled safe with a HR

Wow. I cannot believe its only the fifth inning...9:13 in the fifth.

That's what happens when both starters work deep into the count.

Waters - 5.0 IP, 108 pitches

Bucholtz - 2.1 IP, 60 pitches

So far Boston pitchers have thrown 147 pitches in 5.1 innings, while the Orioles pitchers have thrown 128 pitches in 6.0 innings.

I think this applies:

Rule 2.00 (Catch) Comment: A catch is legal if the ball is finally held by any fielder, even though

juggled, or held by another fielder before it touches the ground. Runners may leave their bases the instant

the first fielder touches the ball. A fielder may reach over a fence, railing, rope or other line of

demarcation to make a catch. He may jump on top of a railing, or canvas that may be in foul ground. No

interference should be allowed when a fielder reaches over a fence, railing, rope or into a stand to catch a

ball. He does so at his own risk.

If a fielder, attempting a catch at the edge of the dugout, is “held up” and kept from an apparent fall

by a player or players of either team and the catch is made, it shall be allowed.

It doesn't address your question exactly, but I think the answer is the catch would be allowed.

      That would be pretty cool. Just do me a favor and please don't start the magic number thread in June next season.

      There’s another accomplishment from 1983 I’d like to match.

      I'm more of a Prime Number guy, I'm happy enough with 89. Round numbers are for suckers.   Pretty disheartening they haven't managed to reach that relatively meager goal in 40 years.

      Still with a chance to do this for the first time since 1982-83. Would be one more nice accomplishment for this organization.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Frobby · Posted

      The weird thing about our bullpen is that they rarely blow leads.   They have a 69% save rate, 4th highest in baseball.  They make it scary, but generally, when they have the lead, they get the job done.   Where they are really bad is keeping games close when we’re down a run or two, last night being a classic example of that.   This year’s team has 32 comeback wins, compared to 48 last year.   Why is that?   Part of it is obviously on the offense, but part of it is that the bullpen doesn’t keep us in striking distance when we’re behind.   One way you can tell this is by the W/L records of the starters and the bullpen.  Last year, the starters were 57-40, this year they’re 60-49.   The starter got the decision 12 more times this year than last year, including 9 more losses (with 3 games to play).   That tells you that when the team is losing when the starter is pulled, they keep losing.  Meanwhile, the relievers were 44-21 last year, 28-22 now. They’re not picking up wins because they don’t give the offense a chance to catch up and get the win for the bullpen guy.

      I do not disagree with above posts.  Also I am pretty sure that this time last season, the Texas Rangers Hangout was saying the exact same things as the Rangers Pen.  Point being, you never know until you know.  The pen is shaky, but is capable of putting together a solid run from time to time.
