That is unbelievable
can't argue with that...
how the eff do you miss that call standing right there, blue?
The reason the ump blew the call was b/c he was messing around trying to move one of our guys out of the way. Check out the other video on kbtx. He is moving one our guys out of the way right as the play at the plate occurs. He wasn't even focused on the tag, he was completely distracted.

standing to the right? then who am i looking at on the left?
one of our boys.
Ump was to the left up the thrid base line a little, I don't know how he missed that call, it was right in front of him.
I actually thought he was further up the third base line at first.

Nope.
One of our players was standing right in front of him. He missed the call b/c he was trying to move him out of the way instead of focusing on the play. Again watch the larger video from kbtx.
Arthur basically backed the umpire right out of the play.
sweet edit on the other post, holden. way to completely change your point.
Also watch the catcher's glove at the end of the video above. You will see on the very last frame the ball pops out. So besides the fact that the tag was made late, he didn't even have the ball in the glove when he made the tag.
That is why it took him so long to turn and make the tag b/c he didn't have the ball secured yet.

I could see it from the right field foul pole...don't know why the ump blew it.
Never touches the plate with his left hand. It gets hooked by the catchers leg and comes up over the plate. Pay attention to the plate outline from the beginning and see where his hand ends up. It never touches the plate. It's in the air the entire time.
Very close, but the right call.

ARE YOU HIGH?
Maybe they'll show the gif at the Disch today with an apology
You're joking right how can you not say he didn't touch the plate. He clearly went under Rupp's legs and touched home with his left hand.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
please don't slow down landman with responses, he's running late to his monthly meeting of the "No, Americans Really Did NOT Land on the Moon" Society.
Rediculous... but live I did think he was out.
A CLOSE play is when the mitt is a couple or a few inches from the tag.
In this case, it is a foot away.

BS.

That cloud of brown stuff (dirt) covering the plate is kicked up by the sliding player's hand .... but by all means don't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Then there is also the whole issue of the catcher blocking the plate prior to having the baseball. Runner should have been safe for that reason alone.
Irrefutable.
The umpire's job is to get the player out of the way. I grabbed players and threw them out of the way at homeplate plenty of times prior to making calls at home. The umpire blew this in every way.
Too Cold, He has the ball when the runner makes contact with him the catcher is doing nothing wrong
I don't understand why the ump was so far to the left in the first place. I don't see why Scott Arthur's position should be called into question. Also, Rupp is clearly blocking the plate without having the ball. I really don't understand the call at all.
i've never been angry about a game before, but this was BS!!!
1. I think he is safe
2. Rupp has the ball before they make contact, now the runner still gets throw him before he can make the tag, but he does have the ball. That is not catcher's interference.
Still runner is safe

I have seen umpires blow similar calls bunches of times. If the throw is there, many times they just seem to assume the tag will be made in time.
Why hasn't Godfather been pimping his own mad umpiring skilz on this thread?
because he got shut up last night for being an idiot
