Blue Jays GDT: 2021 v8 | Next: Sun, Aug 8 | vs Bos | 1pm ET/10am PT |Richards vs Ryu]

[Kurtz]

They must be saying that Lourdes blocked the bag with his foot

Yeah, that's the obvious explanation, not sure why our crew doesn't see that.

 

[Tlo1]

Yes

Thanks

 

[MS]

no clue what rule saved Boston there

Gurriel clearly wasn't touching the bag when he caught the ball.

There was a replay that showed that *maybe* he bumped the base when he stood up but it wasn't remotely conclusive from that angle.

If nothing is conclusive, the play stands as called on the field.

Plus there is an argument for interference, so it might be 2x in Boston's favour. I was fully expecting him to be called safe there.

 

[CatchyTune]

ok i can kind of see it now. guess the call was warranted

 

[trellaine201]

Feeble swings so far. We need that a HR. Come on.

 

[Hoverhand]

Yeah, that's the obvious explanation, not sure why our crew doesn't see that.

If this is the case then why don't they do the orange first base extenstions they have in softball.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Ummmm his toe is very clearly on the base

 

[Muston Atthews]

Lmao the foot is clearly on the bat there wtf

 

[canucksfan]

Jays need to stop swinging at so many first strike pitches

 

[Eyedea]

So they ruled he didn't touch the bag. Interference/obstruction wasn't even the call.

 

[Hoverhand]

Lol the league may or may not prefer Boston in the playoffs over Toronto.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Yeah, if that's the argument the Umpires/New York are going with, that's a pretty shitty explanation.

 

[Kurtz]

Wow, not obstruction. So New York just blew it.

 

[CatchyTune]

Blow the roof off the place Vlad!

 

[Dr.Funk]

Blow the roof off the place Vlad!

He'd have to get a pitch to hit

 

[dubplatepressure]

He'd have to get a pitch to hit

Well he did.

 

[canucksfan]

Nervous for Romano

 

[Hoverhand]

they're really doing Romano over Cimber?

 

[Cloned]

So they ruled he didn't touch the bag. Interference/obstruction wasn't even the call.

Apparently they did end up ruling obstruction.

 

[trellaine201]

Up to the bullpens now

 

[Dr.Funk]

 

[Hoverhand]

they're really doing Romano over Cimber?

 

[Cloned]

they're really doing Romano over Cimber?

Probably “saving” Cimber for the top of the 8th in the event it gets there.

 

[Canada4Gold]

How much do you want to bet the moron review umpires thought to themselves that he should be safe because of interference but interference isn't reviewable so we'll say he didn't touch the bag as that's the only legal way to make the safe call which should have been the correct call in the non reviewable interference

 

[hoc123]

I see Romano is pissed about the call
