edjr 5,564 Posted February 10, 2020 Typical bumbling umpires. How do you not give Gomez a HR? If a guy in the playoffs hits a game tying HR in the 9th, the catcher can tackle him and hold him down so the run doesn't score? da fuq Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RaiderHaters Revenge 3,584 Posted February 10, 2020 thanks Ed never saw this but yah could you imagine, should have been a homer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayJay1971 238 Posted February 10, 2020 Should have been a homer for sure. Did the catcher get ejected too? He was just as much at fault as anyone else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like it opens the proverbial can of worms. up 1 run in the 9th, put the backup catcher in and tell him to sweep the legs of anyone that hit's a solo dinger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Observer 641 Posted February 10, 2020 Glad McCann stood there and was ready to jack him up. Not sure what the history is, but Gomez is obviously a . One thing I love about baseball is how it polices itself. But yeah, should still be a home run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supermike80 1,285 Posted February 10, 2020 Wellll...........I dunno. I agree he should be allowed unfettered access but the difference here is he got tossed. BEFORE he completed the play. Therefore it's null and void. If hes trotting along, and flips the bird to the third base umpire, and gets thrown out right there, the run probably wouldn't count either. So a good strategy would be to have a guy running behind him screaming YOU SUCK----You JACKASS...... Get him to do something to get tossed before he touches home. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My two cents: The catcher impeded the runner's ability and is at that very point a home run. Yes, he got ejected, but only after the confrontation with the catcher...correct? Anyways, I say home run unless they ejected the runner before he reached the catcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How can this not be the case? Baseball players are such dumbass rednecks. Someone says something to them that they don't like and they get all tough guy and wanna fight. Why don't they just go win the game and move on to the next game and make that dude look like an ass in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
