Lawful Metal Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Well, you’re wrong. It’s only interference if the fan is over the railing. You can’t jump into the stands and then complain that the fans are in your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Except there's nothing definitive to show that, which is in part what the call was based on. Not to mention, there are other angles of the catch that show fans gripping the top of the fence, meaning their hand is "inside" the park and leaning out over the fence with their hand while the people next to them have their hands extended out just as far.

Lawful Metal Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 You’re still wrong. Joe West called it fan interference and he’s always wrong, so you’re wrong. Does that make logic? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Here's the thing about the Mookie play. He was going to catch the ball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's to say he doesn't hit the top of the fence on the way down and knock the ball loose? Maybe he lands awkwardly and the ball comes loose? Maybe he doesn't catch it at all? Cubs fans swore for years that Moises Alou "would have caught the ball" but for Bartman getting in the way. Moises admitted years later he couldn't have caught it. The fans are allowed to be directly over the fence. It looks to me like contact was made above the fence or behind it. In either case, it's not interference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also said he would have had it in the documentary about that 2003 series. http://www.espn.com/mlb/news/story?id=3423732 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5SqQ1vEMYM If you watch the end of the video, he talks about the false reports that he said he wouldn't have had it and is adamant he would have had it.

Tabe Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 What it boils down to is that Alou said it, realized it was better for him to not have admitted it, and backtracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Baseball gods turned on the Astros big time. Seemed like every lucky bounce went Boston’s way. Last year, the Astros were the team of destiny and got the lucky bounces and breaks. This year it’s those scrappy underdog Red Sox. Oh well. Still proud of my dudes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
