IGT 04/05, Mets at Braves

How do McCarver and Buck pose the question that Pagan should be out because he passed Church, when the only reason he passed Church is because the umpires blew the call?

Seems pretty stupid to me.

I agree--that was my only thought during the whole rap.

Well, Church reacted to what the umps called and Pagan should have too.
Pagan was merely following Alomar who didn't seem to notice the call either.

Alomar saw the play, lol.
Hey, if we at home watchin on TV could plainly see (live) that it was trapped how could the ump not?
Ok, ill shut-up. (just venting)

Water under the bridge at this point.

That ball was so obviously not caught - you can't fault Pagan for seeing that and continuing.

[Guest Triple Dee]

The Goat pinch-hitting for the Braves!

And singles.

[Zvon]

....the 'ol ex-team payback factor. ><

The ball could bounce 4 times before Kotsay gets to it but if the ump calls it a catch then it's a catch (at least until further notice) and all runners need to react accordingly.
And it's not Pagan at fault so much as it's Alomar who was windmilling his arm to send Pagan home like an out call was never even a possibility -- but when a play is even semi-close it's something the coach oughta be sure of before he starts sending runners.

And now I'll shut up -- except to repeat that situations like that are why reversing calls (either thru conference or replay) are rarely clean and easy.

Lefty specialist extraordinaire Scott Schoeneweis gives up a run.

Really, it was Smith's run. And Show gets Chipper to pop-up.

I'm glad somebody got Larry out today.

[Guest KC]

Why the fuck is Reyes bunting with two guys on in the 7th and one out?

[bmfc1]

How about a 2-out hit??? Come on David!

[Guest KC]

No, it's just me posting in delay.

1 for 9 with RISP today.

Wright comes up with nothing on his second chance to potentially tie the game.

FOX booth regresses into Yankee talk during a Mets/Braves game.

[bmfc1]

Why wasn't Feliciano or Wise ready for this situation?

[Zvon]
