If Fox Sports knows not to do that, why didn't Harvey? Verducci was all over this, but I don't get the outrage. If the ball was caught, as it should have been, it's the first out. It's not like he hit it 480 feet. I know. If Harvey could get every batter to hit the ball like that shot, he'd pitch a perfect game every start out. That was a routine fly ball out. That should've been Conforto's ball all the way. It was a fly ball that Cespedes had to run a mile for. Conforto said he thought he heard Cespedes calling for it. Probably a combination of a little nerves, a little too much deferment to the center fielder, and a really loud stadium. Agree on not understanding why the broadcast crew made a big deal out of it like the dude hit it to the moon.
