On the phone with my brother and father.

My father had gone to sleep and we woke him up for the Saltalamachia game winning hit.

MLB is not sharing the video.

Enjoy while it lasts but you know the Red Sox are gonna blow it.

You know it in your heart.

Wow I went to bed and the Sox came back to win? Who'd of thunk that.

I feel the urge to put the cop's top on Hunter's bottom.

And if you see anything dirty in what I just said then you've . . . no, wait.

Oh, shit.

Not a baseball expert here, okay. Question: If Hunter had caught the ball when it was already over the fence (as the video shows his only chance to be), and still tumbled over the fence as he did...would that count as an "out" for Detroit or a "Home run" for the Sox?

In other words, does the top of the fence rail count as "in-bounds" for the purpose of determining whether an outfielder is in-bounds by virtue of his body touching the fence top, or do his feet have to be on the ground?

If Hunter catches the ball before the ball touches anything else, then it is an out.

Ari, it would have been an out.

Aridog said...

Ignorance is Bliss & Methadras ... Thanks for the information.

Big Papi needs to pee in a cup, he's a juicer. No doubt. And, I'm not a BoSox hater, kinda like them, have lots of family and friends who are fans.

Trooper, It's all turned around, the Yanks are the blowers, like gay Jeter. NTTAWWT.

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

Yes, it would have been an out like Meth says.

I have never understood this modern fetish for bringing in relievers. Guys are out there pitching no-hitters and one-hitters and they are getting yanked. Meanwhile, the opposition is cheering. And more often than not, the relievers blows up the game, usually by first letting the prior pitcher's runners score.
