Yeah, they did appeal to the 3rd base umpire, and he wouldn't overturn it. Kind of difficult to overturn it after all that, especially since you really couldn't tell for sure from over 100 feet away. It's just too bad that it worked out like this. But......the series is far from over and both teams are gonna have to put it behind them and control their own destiny. No excuses. Just like it wasn't Bartman's fault the Cubs lost. Shake it off and play ball. But I know the umpires will be sick if the White Sox win in 7 games, just because of the what if questions, and the fact that the media will talk about this forever.viking611 said:
to AJ in the situation. He could've walked to the dugout but went ahead and ran to 1st...very heads up....many would've jsut turned for the dugout!!...worked out for him!!!
I just watched some MLB umpire official on ESPN say that he's watched it a bunch of times and the best he could come up with is "inconclusive". He must have been watching a different replay than I was, cuz the replay I saw that ball was clearly caught. Too bad no one in MLB will ever have the stones to admit it.
