Just said he didn't have a great angle, said the ump told him that Pinero fielded it in foul territory and we have to do a better job of closing games.
Robe said the first base ump told him he felt his body was in fair territory but the ball was in foul ground home plate ump didn't say anything
....
I'm not a baseball expert but if it hadn't gotten to first yet and didn't hit the ground foul, how is it the first base umpire's call to begin with?
We had the lead going into the 9th all three nights. That's concerning at this point. I didn't see the game but it sounds like not only did the umpire make a bad call, but it would of ended the game with penny stepping on the bag. And how the hell can the crew chief allow a call be made, and if not even he his call. Home plate ump has the call till the ball crosses the bag
It was the home plate empire's call to make not the first base one. After pinny threw the ball home the home plate signaled out which should mean he thought it was a fair ball. A first base ump should not be able to overrule a home plate ump especially when the first base ump view is blocked
Well...we still haven't lost a weekend series in a long time
