Umpires say Max Kepler foul tipped this ball when he did not, and Twins manager Rocco Baldelli got ejected for arguing the call (Yankees vs. Twins 6/7/22)
I guess the idea is foul balls aren't reviewable since that was the call on the field. You should 100% be able to petition for a crew chief review to check for interference.
I almost had an aneurism trying to figure out wtf happened here. First I thought Kepler fouled it off because of the sound. Then I thought there was catcher’s interference. Turns out Kepler swung and miss and Trevino just didn’t catch the ball.
And Polanco would have advanced to second if it hadn't been called foul, removing the double play. Instead, Kepler GIDPs, and there goes our scoring chance.
The ball was like 2 feet from Trevino. I don’t think we can say with any certainty that he ends up on second. Still would like the ump to get the call right though.
There needs to be some higher up in charge of throwing people out. We can't keep living in a world where an ump can throw a manger out just for telling him he is terrible at his job when there is clear video evidence that it's true.
I remember a few years back Cleveland fouled off a ball against the Astros, and the ump called it a wild pitch (passed ball?) when the path of the ball clearly deviated.
oh wow that wasn't even close
we don’t need the umps stepping in to give us a loss against the yankees, we can do that all ourselves damn it
Wrong call, but was that not a swing anyway?
Shouldn't this be reviewable?
No because then they might actually get the right call /s
Shouldnt there not be plays that are "non reviewable?" But yeah it should 100% be reviewable.
In an ideal world. I'm wondering if the sound of the ball ricocheting around made him think that it clipped the bat.

There's a lot of foul ball stuff i think should be reviewable, there is one issue with reversing foul to fair/not foul is what to do with runners.
I would love to see a scoreboard replay operator just put it up on the big screen on loop while this is going on.
Oh fuck yeah I love it when umps do this shit, gonna get this umps shirsey.
Most heated I've ever seen Rocco as a manager
Imagine how Gardy would’ve reacted.

OK, I thought I was the only one here. So he's arguing that what the Ump said happened happened.
i give credit to max for staying so clam. that was a very bad call tbh
Literally nothing goes right for the Twins against the Yankees
I mean, the Yankees had 4 errors last night, the baseball gods were trying to give the Twins a chance.
I remember the 09 series against the twin a hit was called foul. In the end the batter still got on and the Twins pulled a Nobletiger.
Would have let polanco go to second and avoid the dp. Alas, gidp it was.

That would be a really bold play to run on if he wasn’t already running
it’s been more than 20

Thats so so so bad. Holy crap. Like you could fit 3 baseballs in the daylight there.
That’s a pretty top notch finger wag right there
This really cost the Twins a chance to tie the game and then blow it later.
Nah Duffey had already blown it the inning before. It was 8-4 when this happened.

Rocco should be tossed there. Terrible call, but you cant just berate the umpire on the field for 2 mins and not get tossed. Don't blame him though
Good lord just give us the robots already.
Amen, cause yes it’ll be ugly and a weird transition but like what we’re seeing isn’t straight hot garbage?
The robots being added will have zero effect on this type of play
The Mets just had an interference call overturned on a foul ball by the Padres called interference. Umps being garbage as usual.
If they said he fouled it, they are completely wrong, but didnt he also go around on the swing so its still a strike?
So first we need to send it to DRS.
I cannot get over how much Rocco Baldelli looks like Kevin Pillar with a beard.
I remember a few years back Cleveland fouled off a ball against the Astros, and the ump called it a wild pitch (passed ball?) when the path of the ball clearly deviated.
Baldelli says the thing he know will get him ejected as he begins shuffling away from the homeplate ump mid sentence.
Looking forward to Jomboy lip-reading of this exchange.
Even if he didn't foul it, he clearly went around. Strike either way.
It stopped the runner from advancing on the pass ball
polanco would’ve gone to second if it wasn’t called foul which would’ve removed the DP option. max ended up grounding into a DP
Isn't the outcome the same either way? I don't get it.
