Baseball struggles the most of the major leagues with technology adaptation. From a league created around the cotton gin, they're still scared of electricity
They struggle with everything. They have a weak commissioner
Completely changed the game. Horrible call. Definitely needs to be reviewed
Was it a great call? no, but Horrible calls from the home plate ump changed the game in the Dodgers favor in game one So I guess they have to settle for another series win instead of a season sweep.
I would take out a lien on my house that the Phillies would have lost this game if not for this call/lack of review...Born and raised in Philly, but I won't lie when someone get's shafted
@@bully.of.broad.st.3626lmao that call didn’t prevent Kyle from scoring 7 rbi.
@@bully.of.broad.st.3626Schwarber was annihilating Dodgers pitching before and after the call. Only thing it changed was the margin of victory.
Close call sports suggests the umpire made the correct call, and why.
Maybe you should take an umpire school course before criticizing correct calls.
First of all - the call is obstruction not interference. Interference is when the offense interferes with the defense. Obstruction is when the defense hinders the offense. The best angle for this play is a high camera from foul territory behind third base looking back towards second base. What Wendlestedt is saying is that Rojas blocked the path of Bohm with his body *before* he received the throw. He is saying that as Rojas was running from his SS position to the third base bag he cut in front of Bohm (without possession of the baseball) and therefore impeded Bohm's ability to run to third base. I actually completely disagree with this call. I don't believe Rojas obstructed or hindered Bohm at all. But that is the call Wendlestedt made. It has nothing to do with whether he was out of not. A fielder could impede a runner half way between bases by blocking him and then the runner could be tagged out 10 feet before the base. That would be obstruction even though the runner was clearly out. So Bohm being out by 2 feet means nothing in this call. It's all about whether the umpire felt that the fielder blocked the path of the runner without the baseball AND did the fielder absolutely have to be there to receive the throw or could he have moved somewhere else to receive the throw and not block the path. Like I said - I think the umpire blew this call completely. But at least this is an explanation of why he called what he did.
The reason that this isn't reviewable is that it is completely the field umpires judgement as to whether or not Rojas' movements hindered Bohm. I think the issue is that if you make judgement calls reviewable then you are basically letting one replay umpire completely override the judgement of a field umpire and that probably wouldn't go over well with the on field umpires. Just my guess.
Not to mention Rojas was making that play from the short stop position so he was racing the runner to third.
Fire the poor quality umps
MLB has been emphasizing calling this play to their umps this season. Does that mean they are pressuring the umps to make this call? I don't know, but could be. And could that pressure lead to an egregious call like last night's? Again, I don't know but it could (in my opinion).
I don't know for sure, but it seems like that is the case.
That’s not Tommy getting ejected by Wendelstedt, it’s his pitcher Jay Howell (#50). Gm 3, 1988 NLCS, at Shea.
By MLB's standards I don't think this was a "blown" call. Major League Baseball hasn't released any memo that says that this isn't the interpretation they are looking for. Based on that, I'm guessing this is how MLB wants these plays to be officiated.
Wendlestedt is a KNOWN Dodger-hater. He’s VERY good friends with the Giants announcers, Kruk and Kuip. He’s been a giant fan since he was a kid. Check his ump scorecard anytime he’s behind the plate when the Dodgers play. Always skewed for the other team. He should NEVER be allowed to work a Dodger game. EVER.
Interesting
The tag was clean. NO INTERFERENCE. The only thing I would have done differently is to remove the leg of the third base man to avoid injury from those spikes.
this guy needs to go..... Same idiot who threw out Aaron Boone for fan yelling at him...... Really??? This guy needs to be gone!
That #50 with Tommy was Jay Howell. He got ejected and suspended, I believe, for having a foreign substance on his glove. I think it was pine tar.
We should want ALL play judged by the AI & umps just show us what the AI told them as a final call on every play & every pitch.
Watch close call sports take on this call. It was obstruction. The new rules on how to judge obstruction for blocking the base or plate considers where the fielder catching a thrown ball is before catching the ball. The questions an umpire must answer are
(1) did the fielder impart the runner in any way? Yes, foot on foot contact. In this instance it is the fielder’s obligation to avoid contact unless with the ball in the hand or glove.
(2) did the fielder have to be positioned before the bag, blocking it to make the catch? No. The fielder could have been on or behind the bag.
After arriving at those two answers there was obstruction.
If there had been no foot on foot contact, or the fielder had already caught the ball before entering the runners base path, the runner would be safe because there was no obstruction.
Additionally, you used a video with a camera from the wrong angle. The third base camera had the best view, similar to the umpire, where it is obvious the fielder entered the runner’s base path before catching the ball. No review umpire in a studio in New York City after viewing the third base camera video would over rule the call made on the field.
Only after catching a thrown ball can a fielder enter a runner’s basepath to make a play. End of line.
If the fielder enters the runner's path and catches the ball three days before the runner arrives, it's not obstruction. He was waiting for him with the ball.
Bad take.
this is one of the reason why baseball is losing audience, no review for this kind of call.
1. Bad call. 2. Runner would be on first.
FIRE THE UMPIRE! FIRE THE UMPIRE! 🔥 FIRE THE UMPIRE 🔥 😂
Twice he said it would be one out with nobody on, but Marsh would have been on first with one out. I agree Bohm should have been out (as a Phils fan even), but the scenario would have been man on first and one out.
It was the right call by the letter of the law
What an impossible sport to watch for reasonable people. Perfect to be called Americas pass time.. Donate that land to the other big4's youth programs, and let kids sandlot until the adult know how to baseball a "major" league. Disgraceful.
You'd be better off posting that comment in your first language and letting us translate it. I have no idea what that means beyond impossible sport and disgraceful.
So from now on when a runner finds no chance reaching a base safe then just remember to slide into defender’s leg 😂
Just don't talk about Shohei.
OMG. Rich. #50 on the Dodgers is their World Series 1988 Closer Jay Howell. Niedenfuer was on the 1985 team, had a mustache and wore #49.
This call was Obstruction - not interference. Obstruction is when the defense interferes with the runner. That said, once the fielder has possession of the ball, they can be anywhere they want - including blocking the bag. The call of Obstruction includes the language "Impedes..." so any act, whether blocking the bag or not, if the fielder impedes the runner in any way before having the ball, then "In the umpires judgement" they can call Obstruction. That fact alone makes this a horrible call to review; the only obstruction call they allow review on is the Blocking Home Plate call - which I really don't agree with; these Interference/Obstruction calls need to come from the field, not some 3rd party in a video review booth somewhere. That said, I do agree, Rojas did not obstruct Bohm on this play, and by the time he did, Rojas had possession of the ball so he was legal in what he did.
“Not reviewable” is the biggest joke in sports.
no matter where that 3rd basemen stood...the runner was gonna be out by a mile...& my eye-sight is worse than an owl in broad day-light
I think this was the first time the Phillies were mentioned on this show all season long🤔
TJ's a NYM fan..
well up until last month they'd been so good to the point of being boring.
They read my mind...and waited until their historic start to the season crashed back down to Earth after the break.
Man I'm tired of being right! It's never for anything good or positive for anybody when that gut instinct kicks in, it sucks.
Yup and MLB isn't aware of another team besides the Yankees and Dodgers. Zero sympathy here.
I’m surprised Rich is even talking baseball
they have the possibility to make it right 100% and they dont want to
It will always be the same. "Kill the umps". If you knew just how much they put themselves into that position, being lousy.
Call is bad but human element is part of the game. Another reason why robo umps are NOT the future either. Sit your butt down Dograt fans
I'm a born and raised Phillies fan who lives in Phoenix, which is why I hate the Dodgers...
That was a terrible call. Even though my Phillies need every win they can get (like I didn't see this losing streak coming), this call cost the Dodgers the game I can feel it in my bones. That's not right...so I'm with Rich is being able to review this play, even for the freaking Dodgers.
Jomboy does a good breakdown of this play. From the umpires angle the runner slides into the fielders foot which was in the way of the base so the play is a lot closer than it seems. I also don't think anyone cares because it happened to the Dodgers who people hate as much as the Yankees.
4 million people who attend dodgers games every year care...
Go Chiefs
Nice to see Roberts get excited about SOMETHING, considering he's let opposing pitchers throw at Dodgers since he got here. It's open season on Dodger hitters.
They should change the dodger season sign to 'duck' season.. I saw it work on tv once
Nah, less reviews, more human element.
Ah yes. So the crappy refs can make bad calls without having any accountability
@gabew7480 they're not refs in baseball.
“More human element” from the officials is among the most ridiculous takes I’ve ever heard. Yeah, let’s let incorrect calls stand and undeserving teams win because the officials need to interfere with the game.
WTF is wrong with people?
@verbalkint4052 it worked for well over a century in baseball. Besides, it also gives sports talk something to talk about.
dodgers are whiners, do plays properly and you wont have anything to gripe, end of story
Stick to football.
