[onlooker]

Unreal.

[tatddy]

Terrible call. Even more terrible fans.

[Chi_archie]

what happened, i just got home and i'm eating my brussel sprouts and missed it

[ttwarrior1]

short stop hears infield fly so he backs off??????

I doubt it, announcers trying to help, lmao and they are braves fans

[mynameismud]

one of the worst mlb calls ive seen in a while.

[capone8585]

Great sharp call

[PAULYPOKER]

WTF was that bullshit infield fly call?

[Tofudog]

Are you able to even call infield fly rule in the outfield?

[lunchbawks]

Why do t they reverse the call?

[Disko808]

damnn that just killed the whole momentum of the game shettt

[Darkside Magick]

Need 4 more outs..lmaoooooo

[turbozed]

No money on this game for me. That was a terrible call in all sorts of ways.

[ttwarrior1]

well if the shortstop can get to the ball easy and it was hit so high, you could say it was almost an infield fly

after thinking about it, braves shouldn't of given up 6 runs and played such bad defense. Get base hits braves if you want to
win instead of cardinals dropping a easy pop out.

The shortstop for the cards could of heard the call by the ump and let it go

[agharah1]

So is it on rain delay now or what?

[BigDofBA]

Outfield fly rule boys.

[rm18]

they called it too late, it was an easy play but you can't call infield fly when the ball is 7 feet off the ground Braves might win this protest

[3PtShooter]

fix is in

You're right, the Braves played awful so the umpires should be allowed to make game-changing calls.

[MUHerd37]

Call was made right when the infielder ran away from it. Fukkin stupid.

[ttwarrior1]

maybe the ss heard the call and moved out of the way????

If next guy gets a base hit they have a gripe.

Lets see if they can get any hits at all

no reason to give the base runners a free base, + they should have 2 more outs so even if McCann out could of been different plus would of been a different pitcher

[sitzlejd]

Unreal. Umps just stole the game.

[Mikail]

once again officiating interference ruining games.

[QuantumLeap]

The last ball was hit to shallow left field. I heard a fan yell "infield fly!"

[ttwarrior1]

chipper was out imo, he got back in time

[daneblazer]

He touched the bag twice before Chipper got there. No way he was going to call Chipper out after what happened. These umps are horrible.

[QuantumLeap]

I agree.

Funny that the same ump (Sam Holbrook) caused a similar situation in 1998. He's also the same clown that threw Greinke out of the game after 4 pitches.

[bb_skoots]

I talked to an umpire after the call. Here is what he said.

"Infield fly rule is a judgement call by the umpire. It must be a ball that can be reasonably caught by an infielder. The call must be made before the ball reaches its apex. It can be hit into the outfield." "It doesn't matter which player makes the catch."

So as long as he made the xcall before it reached its apex, the call cannot be reversed because it is a judgement call.

[slambam]

You fukkers don't know shit bout baseball do ya?

[LT Profits]

Actually there was nothing wrong with the call itself, the problem was with how LATE the ump called it. If he called it as soon as he saw the shortstop going back for it, there would have been no issue.

[Mantle7]

You fukkers don't know shit bout baseball do ya?

Where you going with that? You think it was the right call?
