[Aggies7]

Hey Vic your mic is still on 

[TwinsCD]

HOW ARE YOU A MAJOR LEAGUE UMPIRE AND NOT KNOW THIS RULE??

[Aggies7]

This long delay is precisely what Pablo needed 

[RpR]

Wallner , poor acceleration, and lousy brakes.😗

I think what's in question is where was the batter/runner when the ball went out of play.

[Aggies7]

Let’s ****ing go already 

[Aggies7]

This is taking absurdly long. Rocco should be out there raising hell

[Robert Floren]

Need a Supreme court ruling here

 

[RpR]

Is War Paint a league wide thing now?

This is an easy call.  Where was the runner when Wallner went into the stands?  Ball is dead and the runner gets one base from where he last passed.  If he hadn't made it to 2nd, then he gets 2nd.

Was just going to say that.  No justification to award 3rd base.  Should be easy as with a proper fence there would be a play at 2nd.

Feeling we might get the Rocco explosion shortly.

[RpR]

Good to see opposing players having a happy BS session.

[USAFChief]

100 percent bring Jax in at this point.

[Aggies7]

This is an outrage

Make it so

[Aggies7]

Only one other game going on at the moment. No justification for what just happened, now we’ve got to pull our starter 

[TwinsCD]

Why was that so difficult??  I told y'all that hours ago.

However, I wonder if the question was if the batter/runner had reached FIRST base which, if he hadn't, would have meant he'd have had to stay there.

Good call!

[SD happy]

I can’t believe it took that long. To me, the call to stay on second was a no brainer.

This crew kinda blows anyway.

That's pretty clearly what they were looking at in the replay center. Timing up his foot hitting first with the ball going out of play.

[MMMordabito]

Hopefully, Jax will have enough left in the tank for another inning.

[Patzky]

You could make a case for PH For Larnach and Lewis with Keirsey and Helman. 

[TwinsCD]

OK, Rocco, you're allowed to pitch Jax in the 8th too.

That would be interesting!

The difficulty is if it's a one base vs two base award. 

It comes down to a determination of intent of the fielder.  If momentum carries the fielder out of play, one base. If they could deem he assisted the ball going out of play in any way, two bases.

Obviously to us Wallner had no chance of stopping there but that's what they were looking at.

Yeah, Tampa TV was showing the Command Center and they had the video frozen on Diaz hitting 1st.

I thought we were told to stay away from judging intent.  😉
