What were you looking at??!?!?! No way, dude. The fans were out over the edge of the fence and that's where the contact took place.

I can drink my Orange KookAid with the best of them, but the ball and glove were over the wall and beyond the field of play. At that point, it's no longer fan interference. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. They Yankees get more than their fair share of home cooking calls from the umps, I just don't think that this was one off them.

Thats the way i seen it too. The fans were in the field of play. My question is if they replay it, do they have to rule HR or an out? Or is there a third option, Ground rule double?

That's absolutely incorrect. The ball hit off the top of the fence and went in, but before that happened, one of the fans contacted Cruz's glove in the field of play.

If they had reviewed it, IMO Cano would have been out.

It wasn't quite as blatant as Maier's interference, but it absolutely should have been reviewed. It looked to me like more than one fan hit Cruz's glove. I haven't seen an angle yet that shows where the contact took place. Was Cruz's glove over the wall into the stands?

It should have been reviewed, but I don't think it would have been overturned.

Really?

Uh, you're wrong. Look very closely for evidence. That is the very definition of fan interference.

Because that's what he thinks MLB wants because MLB clearly doesn't want replay.

You don't put a limited replay system in place and then not use it because you didn't want replay in the first place. The umpire screwed up here big time, that is what happened.

      Imagine having the thought that a baseball team like this could be dead so early in the season when they’re on pace to win as many games as they did last year.

      @Moose Milligan as a long time vet of this board, you gotta know that the better the Orioles get and the more relevant that they become, we are going to have people show up on this board who are either a) trolls b) bandwagon fans c) not that knowledgeable  I’ve noticed more and more people showing up and saying crazy things that don’t make sense. I guess it comes with the territory of having a great team.

      Was it the same person who said this team was dead?

      4/15: Twins limp into town with key players on IL

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I’m dead serious. That’s one regular (who starter last week) and it was to be expected that he would struggle like almost all young guys do when they make the jump to the Majors.  Hays doesn’t play everyday and was just playing yesterday to give Santander a rest. Yes Santander is struggling, so by my count that makes 2 guys struggling who are getting everyday ABs. And even if you go by the TWO that played yesterday, I have a hard time coming up with a figure that adds up to several.  Unless, your math or understanding of the English language is different than mine. I don’t see TWO as equating to several guys, as you stated.

      Someone said the other day he’s just another guy and should be cut.

      Outside of Cowser, he’s the biggest surprise of the season so far for me.

      It’s interesting to compare the careers of McFarland and Danny Coulombe.  TJ debuted in 2013 and is 35; Danny debuted in 2014 and is 34.   TJ has appeared in 362 big league games, throwing 480.1 innings at a 4.16 ERA (101 ERA+), and has been worth -0.1 rWAR; Danny has appeared in 262 games, throwing 250.1 IP aa 3.63 ERA (114 ERA+) and has been worth  3.1 rWAR.   Going into this season, TJ had accrued 8.028 years of service and had been paid $10.5 mm; Danny had accrued 5.008 years and had been paid $5.2 mm.  So I’d say at this point that McFatland has spent more time and bern used more heavily in the majors than Coulombe, and has been better paid, even though Coulombe has been more effective.
