I’m aware. It’s just amazing the lengths MLB will go to cover for their umpires.
I missed this part. Thanks for the clarification. When I saw it I thought it was definitely a case where you know he was safe but that video proof to overturn what was called on the field wasn’t there. For that I felt like you needed a shot that showed daylight between the glove and Yanier’s arm/hand but no shot that I saw showed that. So I felt like we’d probably get F’d, which we did but I also thought it would be inconclusive evidence to over turn…not confirmed as you say they stated after making the call. BS.

This is the downside to being a league wide villain. He was clearly safe, the Tigers knew he was safe, the Detroit crowd knew he was safe, yet New York fucked the Astros and cost them the game just because they can.

Just saw the replay…the only way Yainer is out is if the catcher’s elbow is considered part of the glove

Even though I assume this is rhetorical…no…it is not. Neither are the laces of the glove.
I could see some players with real long laces if that weren’t the case. Wait, what if you have one of those guys with shoulder length hair and the defender tags only hair, is the runner still out?
If that was the case I assume Jayson Werth would have had his in a man-bun or something
Yes, the hair counts. And yes, players used to have really long laces because they used to count. They changed that loophole
Nice play by Ibanez. Asshole.
Detroit booth is talking about Altuve, compared him to the movie Speed “if he sees more than 3 pitches…”
He saw 15 pitches total in the first 2 games, and another 3 this AB
