I usually wait for a pitch to hit the catcher's glove,  pause the tv, then resume when the streaming radio broadcast catches up.

Usually about 4-6 seconds.

Use the sound of the ball hitting the mitt on the radio and reference that with seeing the ball hit the mitt on TV.

I’m still surprised by how high Mookie got up to make it close.

It still should have been ruled a home run

Giving away 2 runs and having 2 stolen for a net negative 4 is a terrible way to start the game.

It was conclusive. The ball was clearly over the line and Betts reached over. I think he catches it without the fan there, but that’s not the rule. It went to replay and MLB gagged on their dick.

This right here.

Jeff Passan  @JeffPassan 2m ago
This seems pretty straightforward: "No interference shall be allowed when a fielder reaches over a fence" unless "it is clearly intentional." If you look at the replay, it's awfully hard to see clear intention from the fan in touching Mookie Betts' glove.

Jeff Passan  @JeffPassan 8m ago
I'd love to hear the explanation for that. Didn't look like a fan reached over the fence. If he didn't, and the ball was over the fence when it was touched, and the contact was incidental between the fan and Mookie Betts' glove, that has to be a home run, right?

Jayson Stark  @jaysonst 7m
If you had bottom of the 1st, Game 4, for the first "Joe West moment" of this series, you win.

Not sure how Cowboy Joe & the replay reviewers in NY could conclude that fan reached onto the field of play to interfere, based on what I saw.

But that's how a 2-run HR became an out!


Joel Sherman  @Joelsherman1 10m
Altuve is called out on fan interference after replay. I think that is a bad call. The ball was beyond the fence and Betts closed his glove before the ball arrived. I don't think he was going to catch that. 2-run HR goes away. #Astros #RedSox

Buster Olney  @Buster_ESPN 12m
Are you going to eject the fans for that?
If not, it should be a home run.

Doesn’t help that the sad sack TV commentators are carrying the water for MLB. “It wasn’t conclusive”, “the goal of replay is to get it right, but this time they had no chance”, etc. Any fool could look at that reply and see that it was conclusive. Just look at the direction the fans were reaching: straight up, NOT forward.

This certainly isn’t the start any of us were hoping for, but the game isn’t over until the Red Sox get 27 outs.  Lots of baseball to be played, and anything can happen, just like last year.

I may be on the ledge, but I'm just enjoying the view.

Let's go.

No joke. Before this inning I was so frustrated I grabbed my 55inch tv and took it in to the garage where I have a couch at the moment (refinishing some wood floors). No clue why I did that but I’m watching the game in the garage now, I don’t care how cold it gets.

IMO Altuve wasn’t showboating, he’s taking it easy on that knee whenever possible.

Give it the fuck up, will ya. The Astros have led this game twice after that, and stomped their dicks.

Having two runs stolen by MLB idiocy and the fat sack of shit that waddled 5 steps and somehow judged that a fan interfered with a play he had zero chance of making an informed call on is a big deal no matter what.

The Astros have sucked dick on ice since then, no doubt. But that is still pretty glaring in this game.

It’s like saying that bad pass interference call is the difference in the game. No, it’s the five fucking pick-6 interceptions you threw in the 4th quarter.

Agree.   That was way early.

Joe West said "I'm gonna fuck you guys over. "

Astros said,  "we got this ourselves. "

Case in point:

McHugh plunks Bradley to load them.

Shark bait AB

You can simultaneously hold that the Astros gave away multiple runs through dicksteppery and the complete inability to block balls  in the dirt, AND that Joe West’s monumental fuckup fundamentally changed the course of the game.

I can accept that West’s fat ass never got into position and he guessed wrong.

I can’t accept that MLB had crystal clear evidence that the fan never reached into the field of play, yet upheld the call. That’s criminal.

I would like to acknowledge Collin McHugh for doing a kick ass job last night!

The Astros had chances to get the win regardless of the HR call.  The bullpen, which we all thought was a strength of this team, failed and failed miserably all series.  Rarely do you win a game when you give up 8 runs.

They've score 7, 5, 2, and 6 runs and trail 3 games to 1.
