[Farmbuildingfan]

Another lucky hit as  baseball gods continue to drop their symbolic fecal loads on the Angels collective heads

Had it been called “properly” there is no guarantee he ends up safely at 2B.

Ball bounced and hit the safety netting, doesn't that make it a ground rule double or no?

This is the perfect example of the problem with review.  As Gubi said, clearly dirt flies up and obscured the line.  It should be “not enough evidence”.   And also, it’s called foul and stays in play.  Why is it a double?

This is the shit I hate about replay. We went from playing the game between the lines to playing it between the ears of a fat old umpire watching on a monitor in New York.

Lmao.  Alright I fucking hate him.  I’m sorry I’ve had enough.  

[HeavenlyHalos]

I like replay. I don't like how much they eff it up. They didn't eff that one up

Maybe.  Is the safety netting “wall” or “stands”?

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

I don't like this move. He's pitched really well tonight outside of the 3 walks but even then he limited the damage. Let him finish this inning. WTF.

Nevin going full Maddon by pulling Syndergaard

Did they show an angle that showed it hitting the line? Or just it hitting the ground and the line disappearing?

[TrumBomb]

Just a reminder Rendon is making $36m this year and entered the season “feeling 100% physically”

[Erstad Grit]

Rendon, you are officially in the group of Steve Finley, GMJ, Hamilton, Wells, Pujols, etc.

I believe it’s counted as out of play Cals and considered a dead ball, meaning the player gets the extra base.

Ok fair enough.

I would have left Noah in the game.

This ump is squeezing Quijada here. Those have been strikes all game..

But at what point is it “stands” and not “wall”. If there is an errant throw home from an infielder and it hits the net it is in play.  So where does the “stands not wall” rule start?  At the dugout?

Maybe a Dodger fan said something to Rendon that hurt his feelings.

Nice work Quijada

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Well I'll eat my words, nice out by Quijada! Ramped up the FB to 97 there.

at least Pujols played most games. Rendon has maybe played half the games since we’ve signed him

[beatlesrule]

Bullpen needs to pitch this why the rest of the game.
