@Jimfrombaseball Sorry, but I never respect when professionals GIVE records to someone. The person they passed earned his record. Think it was Brett Favre who allowed Michael Strahan to sack him once to set a record. Not a fan of this.
@Harold_Balcom@nut_history Hitting the ground after the catch does not negate the catch. Fortunate, you can see the ball roll because of the contact, meaning not in his control and not a catch.
@NYSports29 Love these Homer announcers. They go crazy because it lands fair after crossing the bag. It may well be a fair ball, but landing fair after crossing the bag is irrelevant. If was foul before the bag, so the only thing that matters is where it CROSSED the bag.
@Lawrenc45122383@CodifyBaseball You haven’t figured out that those who post these dig for anything to impress. It says an 85 home game span, which undoubtedly goes from August last year until now. Hell, it could even go from earlier last year until early this year. All about catching your eye.
@thomas11828117@LATimesfarmer Margin of error? In whose favor? So if the offense challenges and it only catches 1/6 inch of the plate, it is a ball? And vice versa for the pitcher or catcher? Makes NO sense.
@ChadMoriyama Loved Vin Scully, but that was a terrible explanation. The run counted because the third out was made AFTER Ethier crossed the plate. Since the second baseman turned it into a tag play, the run counts. It really is a stupid rule, but it happens.
