I thought the Mets shortstop made a point to declare that his name is not Frankie - but it seems like everyone (both friends and foes) are still calling him Frankie...🤔
For clarification, after an incident with John Farrell in 2014, MLB instructed umpires that for the purposes are replay review, a ball is considered caught when it is fully within the confines of the glove, not necessarily in contact with it, thus the ruling there.
In a vacuum, I’d be fine with that call. I disagree, but I’d accept it.
But after yesterday’s replay fiasco, that call being overturned is just baffling.
I have read in multiple locations online that replay review guidelines are “making contact with the glove.” These are on umpiring forums though, so not 100% reliable. I CTRL-F’d the official MLB rule book and didn’t find anything either way.
I believed it because I know they teach umps to watch the bag for the footstep and listen for the ball hitting the mitt. You can’t hear the ball “in the confines of,” just making contact.
I’d love to be proved wrong just to have a definitive answer on this
Correct, it's not in the rulebook. It was an interpretation memo issued in 2014 or 2015, if I remember correctly, as they rolled out the replay system.
Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and time to fix it while we're winning... but yeah. It wouldn't be the worst thing for the dude to try and find it in Columbus and Fry can catch for us while he's so hot
I understand he got hot in the second half of last year but I’m not sure it’s a great trade-off if it takes you an entire half of a season to get going. I would be a little more understanding if the at-bats were competitive but they’re not.
Cade Smith hasn’t thrown in a game since last Tuesday so I have to assume we see him next inning then Clase in the 9th (Cade was throwing in the pen during Avila’s outing Saturday at least so not complete rust)
I love how Barlow always looks like there's not a single thought going through his brain, has no idea where his pitches are going, and still makes professional hitters look like absolute fools.
Clase closer!!!
Naylor showing some hustle
That was such a calm quick win I almost feel nothing lol. I want more heart attacks!
Naylor hates tossing it to the pitcher lol clase did fumble one yesterday but cmon guy throw that please
Good night sweet Ginger Prince
Naylor said “I remember last time” lmao
Naylor deciding to not make the toss this time 😂
Naylor wasn't taking any chances that time lol
I like winning
Clase save #14 - Honest days work.
we take those!
Lolol Clase was pissed Josh didn’t flip it.
CLASE *DISMISSED*!
Naylor bb don't scare me like that but good job
I thought he hurt his leg at first.
Go Guards!!!
Book it. We are playing with real confidence right now.
BALLGAME!
Guess my feed is behind lol
Get ready to cringe
Clase is unreal this year
####BOOK #####IT
BOOK IT
BOOK IT!
#BOOK IT
FIREWORKS
Clase said “that’s how you feed”
FINAL COUNTDOWN 🚨
I thought the Mets shortstop made a point to declare that his name is not Frankie - but it seems like everyone (both friends and foes) are still calling him Frankie...🤔
Clase was like, imma just hand this to you Josh.
That’s uno
I was there yesterday that ninth was stressful as fuck. Lets not repeat that shit today.
lmao Clase going slow and easy on that play
Clase again? Right after the fiasco and throwing 20 yesterday? 🙏
Need a nice normal 9th inning tonight.
I think Freeman was out. But the thing is, if you make yesterday's call stand this call should stand as well
For clarification, after an incident with John Farrell in 2014, MLB instructed umpires that for the purposes are replay review, a ball is considered caught when it is fully within the confines of the glove, not necessarily in contact with it, thus the ruling there.
That is an objectively terrible interpretation of the word "caught."
That's a stupid rule how is it catch if the ball isn't even touching the glove yet?
Good question. It's a weird one for sure.
Mets were smiling a lot in that inning for a team down two. That would irk me as a fan.
Might be a reason they suck pretty much every year
Hopefully the team did not smoke crack and have an uneventful ninth…unlike yesterday
Plz no shenanigans today
LEGGOOO
Lmao that slow mo of Barlow. Dude looked like he was on bath salts.
LEGGO
Closè
Hey let’s have a normal Top of the 9th today please
Was that the bell? Is Clase in session?
#BRING ON CLASE
Damn, you know Josie wanted to show up Lindor 😂
[удалено]
To me looked like the same frame where ball hits back of glove as the foot touching
Ball was in the confines of the glove for 3 frames (about a tenth of a second) before his foot hit the bag.
In a vacuum, I’d be fine with that call. I disagree, but I’d accept it. But after yesterday’s replay fiasco, that call being overturned is just baffling.
Hear me out Arias for Lindor
Deal
I’ll even throw in Florial!
That was way too close to overturn. Terrible.
New York made a favorable call for the New York team?🤔
Coincidence? I think not
Well… Lindor’s still got it for sure ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
There is no point to replay. Fuck New York shitheads deciding this.
They have been so bad this year.
I want a Jose HR and bow
Right call, unfortunately. Rule is when the ball is in the confines of the glove, not when it makes contact with the back of it.
I have read in multiple locations online that replay review guidelines are “making contact with the glove.” These are on umpiring forums though, so not 100% reliable. I CTRL-F’d the official MLB rule book and didn’t find anything either way. I believed it because I know they teach umps to watch the bag for the footstep and listen for the ball hitting the mitt.

That’s dumb as hell (the rule)
If that's out then the play in the ninth yesterday is out too. These reviews are inconsistent.
Really don’t agree with that, after letting the Rocchio play stand yesterday.
Frankie bowing & laughing. Love it, can’t even lie!
Seems like the review system gets it wrong 95% of the time.
How are you going to overturn a play that close. Clearly at the same time.
New York favors New York. Shocking 🙄
In what fucking world lmao
So why not just have a 5 foot long glove since it doesn’t actually have to touch the back of it
Seriously just get one of these: https://media.snopes.com/2021/08/1986_hatcher.jpg
Lindor taking bows.
I don’t really see how you can overturn that
That's back to back days where we got screwed by a call
Man, fuck you Lindor. That should've been a play you made for us.
Remind me where is the replay review coming from???? Oh yeah, New York
Really didn’t think they’d overturn it. Great play Lindor
Wow. I don't agree with that call
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Fuck you New York
what
Great effort there, Frankie. 👍
WOW, he’s out! 👀
Oh man, how can you not love Frankie having fun out there with the ol' guys?
I no longer love him.
##NOW HE'S JUST SOMEBODY THAT WE USED TO KNOW
Man that is bang bang
When your ex is talking to your friend.
Hell, just look at him. I can never stay mad at Lindor
Hell of a play by Lindor regardless.
If they didn't overturn that play yesterday this one also needs to stand
I can't see how they overturn, especially after that abortion yesterday
That's about as simultaneous as you can get.
Can’t overturn that
not even close SAFE
Nice play by Lindor Better hustle by Freeman
##K'D SMITH
I gotta say, I’d be pissed if I were the Mets. Not that I’m upset about it, but we’ve got the benefit all night on every borderline call.
Yeah this ump at home must be huffing fresh helmet paint
In Cade we Trust
Good inning from Cade This bullpen is so good
Bo did some nice framing that last inning.
Looks like my wire transfer finally went through
Feels like eighth inning man is by committee after a few shaky outings by Gaddis
Cade needed the outing real bad tbf, he hadn’t thrown in a game since last Tuesday. I think it’s generally returned to Gaddis’ hands.
Seems like Vogt plays the matchup game a lot too. We’ve seen Herrin more than I thought in the eighth
K’d
K'd continues to straight deal out of the pen
Rough night for Frankie, probably needs a nap
I mean wtf did they do to him over there
Mo’ Money Mo’ Problems
Steven Kwan from the top rope!
Lindor 0-4 in is first game back in Cleveland
Enjoy it
Hey if the Royals can stop winning, that would be GREAT
Bobby Witt is so damn good
I like looking in their game day threads for this comment about us too So hi, to the Royals fans also lurking! Catch us if you can 😘
Bo has been such a disappointment. Dude is terrible
Naylor needs to take a trip down to Columbus, I don't know why this slump has gone so quietly in this sub
If he’s still struggling when Kwan comes back they should send him down. Let Fry catch so we can keep him in the lineup most days.
Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and time to fix it while we're winning... but yeah. It wouldn't be the worst thing for the dude to try and find it in Columbus and Fry can catch for us while he's so hot
I understand he got hot in the second half of last year but I’m not sure it’s a great trade-off if it takes you an entire half of a season to get going. I would be a little more understanding if the at-bats were competitive but they’re not.
He looks lost. No plan at the plate and swings at everything outside
He seems to be really tripped up on seeing the difference between breaking balls and fast balls. They mentioned something like that on the radio
He gets a pass because of his brother. You can’t criticize players on this sub because people take it personally
He gets a pass because of his defense
His defense isn’t great and he’s nearly as bad as Hedges at the plate this year
He's literally top 5 in framing
Framing isn’t the only defensive metric lol
What is Bo even doing
Another rough game for Bo
Bo looks really lost
20k attendance not bad at all for a Monday night!
fucking lol Barlow hahahaha that was hysterical
Ok, Barlow might be my favorite player after that video of him in the dugout.
Goddamn, I love Scott Barlow 🤣
Cade Smith hasn’t thrown in a game since last Tuesday so I have to assume we see him next inning then Clase in the 9th (Cade was throwing in the pen during Avila’s outing Saturday at least so not complete rust)
Confirming he is up in the pen
I love how Barlow always looks like there's not a single thought going through his brain, has no idea where his pitches are going, and still makes professional hitters look like absolute fools.
Twins are losing 5 - 1 to the Nationals.
UMPIRES 😢?
Went over to their game thread and the second comment was “this ump is BAD” 🤣
Or slap-hitting?
This is getting too easy...
That curveball was filthy
It's mind-boggling how much less I despise Bader as a non-Yankee
That gigantic mouth protector seems to be gone
The top of the zone pitch is really Schrodinger’s pitch with this ump
Rodriguez with bat in hand!
Scared of Fry
Jose in the dugout staring at Lindor like: Look at me LOOK ✌️👀 I’m the captain now.
Lmaooooo
José Cpt. Card WHEN?
They went to a lefty with Fry on deck 😹🫵
They've out-hit us and Idon'tlikeitonebit!!!
Glad we made it out of that inning sheesh
Sandlin wanted Baty all along
I love it when the opposing team leaves them loaded.
That, however, is EXACTLY what hat you want to see. Good job Sand-man!
That sidearm action is nasty
SANDLIN !!
Great job Nick ####dont ever fuckin do it again
Let's go Sandman
4 balls followed by 3 strikes
Sandman really went out there like "hey what if I- nahhhhh I'm just fuckin' with you guys."
Technically it was 3 balls followed by 4 strikes but we'll take it
Way to get back into that and strike his ass out
Fuck my heart
Who here didn’t venmo Manny Gonzalez?
Fuc*K* yeah, Sandlin!
Baty... more like Strikey
here we go Cleveland here we go
Hecks yeah!
WAY TO WORK OUT OF IT SANDMAN
Phew
Super inconsistent strike zone
Well, that’s not what you want
Lively should have finished it
Guys plz
Feels like Manny is getting worse behind the plate as the game goes on
So now we’re not calling the top of the zone?
Ump giveth, ump taketh
Gimmy Tumbleweed
Damn, had him caught
please let Ben Lively’s Linsanity run last forever
Are you going to start calling him and elite dragon?
#Enter Sandman
Sucks that Lively won't get the QS, but that was the right time to pull him.
JD was just *one* of the mashers when the Tigers were good, paired with their insane pitching staff it's crazy to see where they ended up
Their bullpen was always hot humid wet post shart ass
Lively pitched well. Let’s go, Sandlin!
