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.

      Getting the big hit: Josh Lester

      By wildcard · Posted

      The O's often seem to get runners on base but can't drive them in.   They often don't get the big hit that opens up the game.   Yesterday that is just what Lester did.   He got the hit that made the score go from  3-0 to 6-0 (which included a Giant error).    The thing that impressed me about Lester's hit was he did not swing for the fences.   He hit a single to right center with the bases loaded.   So often it seems the  O's take the big swing and fly out to the warning track.    I guess that is how Lester has 50 RBIs in 52 games in AAA.   Lester did what the O's needed.   He drove in the runs.  The O's could use a guy like that. So Coulombe is expected back on Tuesday.   Someone has to be optioned.   Will it be Lester or Vavra?   And if Lester stays where  will that find at bats for him?   Do they give Gunnar more time for his back to heal?   All I have is questions.  No answers.

      Haha, I heard that - but ironically she had done the EXACT same thing, either during the Rangers or Indians series, so this time I was prepared for what she meant lol.

      Ryan Mountcastle 2023

      By Es4M11 · Posted

      Not to make excuses for Mountcastle, he hasn't been good, but it still seems to me that he is punished by bad luck. How many balls has he hit hard that in a majority of instances would be base hits / extra bases? I see him attempting to be more selective with the low and away pitches only to be screwed by umpires with an unfavorable call, which often has put him in bad counts forcing him to swing away. I say this not to provide an excuse for the guy, but it's gotta weigh heavily on a player when he's smoking pitches that are continuously finding gloves. Mountcastle is a peculiar case, and who knows what the answer is. At this point maybe just have to except that bad luck is a part of his game, and move on to someone who actually produces instead of waiting on the hope of Mountcastle could be.

      TT: Hyde's bullpen management is going to sink this team unless he changes

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Absolutely, arguing the merits of the strategy is completely fair. That is very different than the post I responded to, which was trying to psychoanalyze Hyde and some of his players. That gets us into subjective territory rather than evidence based discussion. So far the matchup strategy seems to be working but there may come a point in time it doesn't. I appreciate you called our some concerning trends that we can then track as the season progresses. Based on the track record so far, I am giving Hyde and staff a long leash to see how it plays out. Last year, Baker, Perez, and Bautista were all very strong down the stretch. That being said, using Cano up five was a weird decision.  I can only think that Hyde wanted Cano to get work with an off day coming up. I am quite certain though that it wasn't in reaction to Baumann giving up the walk, as Cano would have been warming up well before that point.

      She was terrible on the call for the Sabol homerun yesterday. It went something like “Santander back towards the wall, he turns and it’s off the top of the wall! *5 second pause* The Sabol homerun makes it a 7-2 ball game” I was listening thinking the ball was off the wall and in play, stuff like that just happens far to often with her or Garceau on the radio, where you’re just sitting there wondering what just happened.

      Yep, I had that wrong. It was Veen over Kjerstad, and you were not alone.
