I've been watching baseball longer than most of you have been alive, but I've never, ever seen a walk off balk................

billhill999 · Jun 16, 2011

That ended the Mets game just now.
No bitch, I was on the Braves, but still, you don't call that with two outs in the tenth, even if it was a ticky-tack balk.

TonyMar · Jun 16, 2011

it was a clear balk.....

& the correct call on carrasco....

the umpires had a bad night there....Blew a call at 1st base & a couple of others too....

was nice to see 'em get atleast one right...

i am glad the braves won & cashed.... even w/gonzalez's poor managing of the t-5th

better to be lucky than good, isn't it?

Yes, it was clear, yes it was ticky-tack, but it's like calling a touch foul in hoops with 0:10 left in a 98-98 hoops game.

p.s. I cashed too.

TonyMar · Jun 16, 2011

always an element of luck involved in gambling....

did you watch the braves blow a 4 run lead?

that was more about the braves falling asleep than the mets being good...

they rake'd rag arm dickey all over the place......

then minor walks the leadoff man,....while gonzalez watched,...picked his nose....

& allowed him to walk another guy....

walking batters with the lead is like anthony wiener at a camera convention,....had better look out for an explosion

it was an obvious balk...also i think it happened to the mets last year as well? not sure but i know for a fact ive seen it before...and i believe it was with the mets

Mlink · Jun 16, 2011

It's kind of surprising that it doesn't happen more often. The slightest flinch or loss of concentration, tight game, and the guy on third gets sent home. Heyward knew it before the ump did.

I have seen it 2 times. But a balk is a balk and it's only fair to call it if it happened..........which it did. It's not fair to penalize the Braves just because the game is in extra innings.

Braves were the 'right play/side',...

gonzalez mismanaged minor in the t-5th & opened the door for the mets....

choking away a 4 run lead....

It was nice to see the correct side win
