Holy Crap I Just Had a Nightmarish Flashback to Jeffrey Maier

I am 99% sure Bud doesn't want replay used, and thus got his way when they didn't review that play.

That makes no sense. Why put in the boundry rule at all if you aren't going to use it?

[Hank Scorpio]

BTW, I didn't see the initial play. Did the fielder and Ron Washington come out to argue? If so, why in the world would either of them have left the field before either the play was reviewed or they were both ejected and forcibly removed by security?

Nelson Cruz put up mild resistance, and Ron Washington came out to inquire about it... but nobody seemed to make a major stink out of it, which is astonishingly stupid.

Nice play A-Roid. It should be 2-0, but at least the Rangers are in the lead now. The rest of the game is in their hands.

[Hank Scorpio]

Who's this guy announcing the game? Does he sound mildly slanted?

[Palmoripken]

You gotta give the Rangers credit for bouncing right back to gain the lead here.

[eddie83]

He's getting ripped because he's the primary reason replay hasn't been expanded more than it has - he deserves every bit of criticism he gets in this case.

That has nothing to do with that specific play that play is covered.

Yeah, but in this case the rule says that fan interference calls can be looked at on replay.

Man, they could have used Tarasco and Davey, then. They gave Richie Garcia hell even when they had no recourse. Imagine if this situation had happened.

Ron Darling, he is God awful.

Davey was probably the closest I ever had to watching a manager like Earl in action. Earl retired for good the year before I was born so I never saw him manage.

[eddie83]

I wonder if TBS will have Sager interview the fan like NBC had Jim Gray, that whole scene bothered me as much as the blown call.

[square634]

THIS ANNOUNCER IS WRONG! Arrrgh!

[Hank Scorpio]

Again, re-iterated that it is not reviewable.

Does anyone know for sure?

[waroriole]

Either we're missing something or Ron Darling doesn't know the rules. Which is the case?

He doesn't know the rules. I specifically remembered, when these rules went into effect, how everyone said that the Maier situation wouldn't happen again. Ha!
