Did you see the video posted by greenwell?
-
Hey i'm wondering if the astros fans are feeling right now the way I felt this morning when I saw Pearce's ball hit the left filed wall last night. LOLLOLLOL
-
Hey look I know how you feel about the last word here Hitch and I have given you plenty of positive credit from time to time so having you disagree with me is really no big deal. There have been a number of posters here who have seen the same video that I have seen and it seems fairly clear to them that that might have been a blown call. It is possible. If you think that there is no doubt that you are right - ok. You can be the winner in a little debate that really means nothing.
-
It almost certainly was. I 'm not really sure how anyone can see the replays that I saw and surmise that there is a possibility that it wasn't. back at you - to each his own.
-
when the big man takes a 3 and 1 pitch like JD did it makes me concerned. swing the bats.
-
I agree with you entirely and I think that given the moment in which it happened the call was the right one to make. Max has said that I am imagining that the ball hit the wall first. I do have a good imagination.
-
You see this is ok for me. "I can't be certain. One angle is not conclusive." That to me says that you in fact accept the fact that you might be wrong on occasion. "I'm pretty sure it was a catch" - that is good. I'm not certain that it wasn't. there have been a number of people who have now posted on this topic and almost all of them have said that oh ya there is a chance that they got it wrong. I don't always agree with those people but I do respect them and their opinions. Now I fully understand that I am hanging on to the topic way too long but there is a point here to be made and it is all about respect for our fellow posters. I'm guilty of saying the wrong things from time to time but I can honestly say that the people I don't seem to have any connection with are the ones who think that they are always right. I will let this go now but I have a newsflash for those folks - You are the ones who are wrong.
-
I'm imagining what I am seeing? A little out of character for me. I don't care what you or moon or anyone else happens to think about this one. I am absolutely positive of what I have seen and anyone who thinks that there is no doubt that they got this one right is wrong. Some folks here just amaze me at how often they think they are right.
-
thanks i'm feeling better right now. I'm pretty sure that it isn't real conclusive but it does look possible that it was not a catch. The sound really bugged me.
-
I still would understand if someone felt it was a catch, I was just having a hard time understanding why anyone would feel that there wasn't at least a chance after watching the video. I'm not sure that your take is wrong but thanks for being able to understand that there might be another way to look at it. With respect to the sound well I am an avid golfer. I play many many rounds each year. I hit a ton of balls and I have to say I really do think I know what the sound of a hard object hitting metal sounds like maybe even better than some people. I really think that if that ball hit his glove first the sound would have felt like I hit a ball with a mitten over my driver.
-
It is why I like you on here even if you still really think that it was a catch.
-
it magically disappeared from the weei website but greenwell found it and posted it. I'm not surprised at all that it was called a catch but there really is a chance that it wasn't. it would have been a shame if the better team had lost the game due to that particular play. Hey look I know that you weren't directing your comment to me. Sorry but you have to understand that I have been soundly admonished on here - damn near spanked- because I suggested that a discussion of Chris Sale in 2018 should not include what the Sox might be offering to keep him in for me what is the not so near future. With that in my my friend ( I bet that you would be actually even though we do disagree from time to time - You'd get a kick out of someone like me) I'm just going to keep jumping in to any conversation that I want to - so there!!!! lololololol
-
click on the one that green well posted and objectively tell me what you think. I'm pretty sure that it wasn't conclusive enough to overturn but based on what I'm seeing I have some serious doubt that it isn't questionable and that anyone can simply say that they absolutely positive that it was a catch. Don't misunderstand me, I'm ok with being wrong but I do think that it is likely that that ball hit the wall first.
-
No bw ss likely wouldn't but I might. I'm really glad that we don't have the guy but he isn't the first nor will he be the last "dirty player" to play the game. I just don't like him but what the hell I lost a lot of respect for Pedroia last year as well. I would never condone doing anything to harm another player intentionally but even though some people scoff at and want to see the "unwritten rules" of baseball eliminated, I think that they will always be practiced. At some point in time Machado will experience payback. He is going to have to live with that and with himself for dong what he does.
-
I'm with you all the way on #3. It even seems to me that the team doing the broadcasting has the Astros on a certain elevated level as well. Perhaps they have earned it but if anyone thinks that this Sox team is lucky to be up 2 games to 1 in this series, got a newsflash - the Red Sox ain't too bad!
-
That is so very true. Being stupid although perhaps not fixable is not a crime that creates a punishable offense.
-
It isn't important but the thought that it hit the wall first should not be simply brushed off. My thought last night when I saw that catch was that of something very hard hitting some very hard metal does not make that sound. It confused me. The video I think pretty much shows that in slow motion it hit the wall first.
-
I would never fault the umpires for making that call or for the most part any of the others that they make. My fault is with the blind obsession that video replay always gets it right. It doesn't.
-
Thanks for posting this. You and I clearly saw what we saw.
-
Ok pardon the language but who really gives a flying f*** whether the Astros were trying to steal signs? Does anybody think that that doesn't happen. It happens in almost every game played at every level. If they weren't trying to steal signs, it wouldn't be normal. It doesn't appear that they had an illegal device hidden anywhere within the domain of the Red Sox. The only reason that this becomes news in New England is because there are actually still people out there who think that Tom Brady is the only QB in the history of the game who tampers with footballs before games are played. I can't help but think of all of the times in my baseball days that while I was taking my lead of the bag, it was my job to let our man at the plate know what the next pitch would be. Most of the time we tried and most of the time we were wrong.
-
We won so no issue. Did you see the slow mo video that I saw? It hit the wall. Maybe the replay police don't like it when it seems apparent that even they can make mistakes.
-
Man I hope you are right - It gets a new thread because cp - hubby hubba I 've been trying to find the video that was posted this morning but it seems to have disappeared. Is this a case of real news being squashed by fake news? lol For the record, at the time even though I was troubled by the sound, I thought that it was a great catch. Watching the slow motion video says it wasn't. Didn't the sound of the play bother you a little?
-
I must be the only person who saw the video of that catch in slow motion posted by weei this morning when i got up. If the video I saw was some sort of fake then someone did one hell of a job. I slow motion the ball hit the wall first. Not a big deal - we won.
-
Before you 100% me on anything you ought to at least take a look at the video posted this morning. If that doesn't show you or anyone else that that ball came of the wall first, then ok I get it.
-
Last night the boys in the booth begrudgingly had to give some credit to the Red Sox. it is clear where their unbiased sentiments lie but I think that they do realize that our guys aren't bad. I've now watched the supposed catch of Pearce's shot off the wall in left a few times now as well. Kind of proof that replay doesn't get it right all of the time either I guess. Would have been a shame if the better team had not won that game with a blown replay call.
