For eight innings for baseball umpire, registered in the playoff Atlanta warriors pay a huge price, in their 6-3 the nl wild the st Louis cardinals loss the worst call.
And one in the eighth inning and runners-up, Atlanta's first and second Andrelton simons shot to fly the ball into the left field. Retrograde shortstop Peter Kozma and left fielder matt holliday off chain between, looks like the brave team and a loading base, held meetings, their deficit. However, the left field referee Sam brook, delay of diamond fly ball rules calls, although the ball landing at least 60 feet of cultivated land dirt. Call that ruling simons second out of innings and anger Turner stadium crowd reaction is shower dump.
Atlanta manager Freddie gonzalez with 18 minutes after the delay put the game under protest. However, this is not possible, major league baseball will take any action, because diamond fly ball is strict sense of judgment, not any appeal. Mentioned diamond fly ball rules language is not the distance of the referees have to make sure that a common efforts, the infielder catch a ball.
However, a fly in the ointment is that the referee must decide, in the early days, when the ball hit the ground within.
Here is the major league baseball rules manual:
Diamond fly ball is infielder can capture and common efforts, the first and second, the first, second and third base occupied only, the former two are a fair fly ball (not including line drive, also not attempt to bunt). Pitcher, catcher, infielder this rule shall be deemed as the purpose of what fielder stand his play on cultivated land.
It seems to be very obvious, hits the ball will be a diamond fly ball, the referee shall immediately announce it? Diamond fly ball? The interests of the runners.
Kozma seems to have a good track ball, but stripping when he thought that he heard the call holliday ball. HuoErBuLuKe arm did not go, until Kozma has been cancelled, but this is the biggest reason, warriors and their fans should be angry, because HuoErBuLuKe may be regarded as no direct way call.
Cardinals close to Jason mott entered the game after the delay and call was proved to be a big, because he walked Brian McCann. Free pass only loading the base, but go, not in operation at the end of the standoff, Michael byrne in the future in bat attacks.
HuoErBuLuKe held a call to brave the difference? We can't say for sure is that they will earn back a victory, a point in the NLDS anti-secession rival Washington. But we can say that baseball and the referee in record time won the black eyes, it not only destroy selig's game in which the baby's first appearance, but it also chipper Jones career last game has been overshadowed. This is a shame.
