    Well you certainly can't expect them to simply admit they were wrong...

    I think we have found Bobby Cox's successor. Hurdle's act is getting old with the umps now.

    Although the announcers are annoying to listen to I still challenge this ruling. If you freeze the mlb.com video at 1:57 the foot is in contact with the bag but the ball is not yet there. At 1:58 the ball is there but the foot is clearly off the bag

    The graphic UEFL posted above is not clear of ANYTHING. The replay makes it appear he is off the bag. Very similar play happened in Cardinals game the other night. The umpires need to quit this "neighborhood" call.

    And from the slow-mo camera just when the ball impacts the glove.

    4.19 PROTESTING GAMES:

    No protest shall ever be permitted on judgment decisions by the umpire.

    9.02


    (a) Any umpire’s decision which involves judgment, such as, but not limited to, whether a batted ball is fair or foul, whether a pitch is a strike or a ball, or whether a runner is safe or out, is final. No player, manager, coach or substitute shall object to any such judgment decisions.

    No you can't.... according to the rule book...

    MIchael is challenging the UEFL ruling of Correct, which he is allowed to do. He is not attempting to protest the outcome of the game.

    This ruling has been challenged and is under review by the UEFL Appeals Board

    It was pretty close but the best part was AJ giving it Hurdle.

    I was using the time listed on the video in order to provide a narrow window to look at. If I could have narrowed it down more I would have. If Gil did not think there was sufficient evidence cert would have been denied. What makes this difficult is the fact that the bottom of Tulo's cleat is white which blends with the bag if it is close and the angles are all from the front or the back when you really need the side view the best so you can get the foot the moment he catches the ball

    In re: 127 Johnson 2;

    After review, the Original Ruling has been affirmed in a 5-0-0 decision by the UEFL Appeals Board. Four Appeals Board members voted to confirm the Original Ruling while one elected to uphold it.

    Majority Opinion, RichMSN, joined by tmac:
    Confirm. The picture is certainly clear enough for me. That's a good piece of umpiring, actually looking at the bag at the moment the ball was caught. To the naked eye, it certainly looked like the fielder was off the bag, but then again, that's why they hire umpires.

    Concurring Opinion, Turducken:
    Confirm. F6 secured possession of the baseball while in contact with second base prior to R1's arrival.

    Therefore, the Board affirms the Original Ruling.

    Confirm: tmac, RichMSN, yawetag, Turducken
    Uphold: BT_Blue
    Overturn: -
    Defer: -
    Abstain: Gil (Posted Original Ruling), Jeremy (deployment)
