IGT - NLDS Game 2 - Mets at Dodgers, 10/10/15, 9:07 PM EDT

I think the reasoning here is that Utley ran off the field because he was called out, and now that because the call was reversed he can't be penalized for it.
But they've got to be fucking kidding me if they're going to reverse it on any of the angles that we saw.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

I can't believe I'm seeing this. How do they not see him not touch the bag -- or even try to touch the bag?

[Piggiestomatoes]

Tejada was trying to catch the ball and make contact with the bag. Front of the base was out of the question. Can they appeal once Reed takes the mound?

[Frayed Knot]

I hope someone "accidentally" tags Utley out with their spikes in his neck.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Play on, boys. You got this.

[Fman99]

This Reed v A-Gonz matchup has me all agitated.

But the problem is that he didn't run off the field abandoning the base. He never attained it.

With good reason. This is crap. We should have been out of this inning.

[Fman99]

FUCK.

This is the umpires' fault.

[Edgy MD]

Can't see why the brought in Bartolo only to bump him.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

fuck me.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

0-2 pitch that was. Not all the umps fault

Right? Why is Reed the tonic there?

[Valadius]

I'm trying to recall a worse mistake by the umpires in a Mets game. I can't.

[Guest El Segundo Escupidor]

The inning should have beeen over....so there's that.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Strap it on, Reed.

[nymr83]

Fucking umpires fucked us there, and why Reed??

[Zvon]

My stomach started to sink when they reversed Utley @2nd. Complete bullshit going by every view I saw. And whats this about Utley never touching second? Did he go back and tag it? It looked like he was going to.

Damn. Turner!

Me neither.

Now Niese is coming in. It's starting to look like a mop-up role.

[Valadius]

Utley never touched second. He ran off the field without ever touching the bag.

But the logic (I'm guessing) is that if the play was "correctly" called in the first place that Utley would have touched up instead of leaving the field like he was told.
It's just another example of the fallacy that replay can retroactively fix incorrect calls to what supposed to happen.

Ron Darling was saying the Mets should have done an appeal play before Reed threw his first pitch.

TERRY COLLINS OVER/UNDERMANAGEMENT ALERT: ORANGE

I thought you could not challenge the neighborhood play.

Feels like over managing

only if the DP is turned i think.

[TransMonk]

Bullshit. Complete and utter.

Apparently breaking contact with the base and never making contact in the first place (as determined by high-powered microscope) aren't the same thing.

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

OK, Greinke's gone, right? Let's feast on their weak-assed pen.

[Elster88]

Also, you can't review the neoghborhood play. I guess that didn't qualify?

Edit: Looks like this was already answered.
