I was watching that, and it was very confusing. Then I figured out what must have happened and relished in the Yankee fans booing.
Padres in full panic mode:
Lars Nootbaar is probably my new favorite baseball name

Forget scuffing and start buffing.
Did that ball actually ācurve in the opposite directionā? It didnāt behave like a typical split, but we really donāt know if that baseball was buffed smooth on the left side, do we?
Good question.
Iāll see if I can find anything else about it.
So first, that video is 9 years old.
Second, there are several videos of FBs behaving that way.
I donāt know if that particular one just showed the grip/spin to illustrate the physics cleanly (clean backspin, dramatic break).

Holy fuck, that is super cool.
This seems like a very good idea:
Involve the people who use the product? Thatās socialism if I ever saw it!

Whatever happened to let them eat cake?
Thatāll get your head chopped off.
Everyone is gluten intolerant these days.
Now I want a gluten free cake in the shape of a baseball with sticky toffee icing.

This remains the lamest type of replay review.
Canāt believe they overturned that. It didnāt look 100% conclusive from those angles.
I thought it was clear in slomo but also BS. He clearly beat the throw and did not over slide the bag. A fraction of a second and a fraction of an inch that is only detectable in slow motion should not overrule the obvious safe call.

Agreed, Iām not sure how one would write a rule to exclude those from replays, but those type of overturns suck.
