Mets_bs Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 A fairly common play in the 2nd inning of last night's Mets-Rays game ended up being the lone hit. David Wright trys to barehand a chopper from Upton, it takes a little bit of an odd hop and he muffs it. Error or a hit? If he gloves that does he get Upton? Does the ball kick too far to his throwing hand to glove the ball? Is it a routine play? The Mets are asking for a review, I don't it is overturned but intersting none-the-less. http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=22271383&topic_id=&c_id=nym&tcid=vpp_copy_22271383&v=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of the Past Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Error - I don't think he had to bare hand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 wow tough one... it did seem to surprise him that it didn't take more of a bounce there, always hard to tell on a high chopper what kind of spin it'll have. probably could've gone either way. i feel like they should probably give you a break when it's an obvious bad hop but then you're really nitpicking. Had he tried to glove it he probably doesn't catch it either, but if he does it's a very close play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Ramos Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 BJ Upton... common guys, that's a hit all the way. jeesh. Ball was hit so soft, even if he would of bare handed that and made a perfects throw it would of been a very close play. You can't give an error to someone who tries to make an extraordinary play.

Marlins Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I think if he would have got it with his glove then he would have still been able to get the out... But by no means is that a play in which a fielder is expected to make due to the weird hop and good speed running the bases-so I agree with the call.

fanofthefish Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would say error, so that should be the Mets first real no-hitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerhead Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Qban has it right. With Upton running, that's definitely a hit. If he goes to the glove, he definitely beats it out. If he barehands and makes a perfect throw, it's still close and I still think Upton wins. Definitely hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Different runner, maybe an error. Maybe. But with a speedster? That's a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enterthemadness Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's a hit cause I'm a d-bag. #dbagumpire It's actually a f***ing error though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdy_0513 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 That's a hit. It was rushed due to Upton's speed. No way he gloves that and still gets the out. On a side note, it would be pathetic for the mets to get their first no-hitter on an appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishes on the Pond Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It does not matter what anyone in the world thinks except the ump who called it and then if it could be reviewed. (Don't think so.) END OF STORY. All the whining that has gone on won't change a thing. Mets, take it like an adult and MOVE ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collect 3/4 of your contract $ on the DL. But yeah....forgot about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nny Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yeah, those players want to be injured. They purposely went through a sh*t ton of pain so that they wouldn't have to play the game they love. They even put up a public fassage by having surgeries to try to fix these injuries even though there's no reason to have the surgerys unless you're an athlete. What assholes.
