Infield fly on a ball 60ft in outfield? How does an infield fly get called by an outfield umpire.
And then Atlanta fans embarrass themselves by acting like that. Lots of class ATL

Better question was this a worse call or the MNF call in Seattle?

Rediculous. I really cant blame the braves fans, they go through a 162 game season and have there season decided on a bogus infield fly rule call.

Yeah. Everyone gets all upset and mad at the fans throwing stuff. What do you expect them to do?? Go out on the field and give him hugs? It's frustrating so they let off some steam. Make a dumbass call like that your gonna piss people off.

I know its under protest but I wouldnt resume playing if I was the braves. Surely with all this time passing the right call should be enforced. Commisioner or someone should call in and make this right!!!

Infield fly rule should only be called when it's an obvious call. Calling it a half second before the ball hits the ground 50 ft beyond the infield dirt (let alone by an extra umpire in the outfield) is ridiculous.

Exactly. Frustration has been boiling all game for them. Errors, blown lead, interference call on Simmons, now this. They're upset and making it known. How long can fans put up with these blown calls before they show their displeasure? It's ridiculous how these refs/umps are having such a big influence on games these days (and yes I'm on the Braves but bad calls upset me no matter what).

As for what call was worse, this or the Pack-Seahawks one, I'd say this for sure... A loss in week 3 can be overcome, this call will end a teams season. Implications bigger here.

If you are Cards fan at the game it would be wise to leave the stadium now

what happens with the protest? can the game actually be replayed or continue from bottom 8th with bases loaded and 1 out? Not sure how this works at all.

The only time I can remember a protest being upheld was the George Brett pine tar game in 1983. In that incident they restarted the game from the point of the home run being counted and the Royals leading 5-4.

Given that precedent, the bases would be loaded with 1 out.

Interesting. Thanks... I mean it's pretty clear the call was botched. National baseball writers, well respected journalists, even players from other teams were all over twitter criticizing the call. It's just a matter of whether or not Torre/Selig think the call changed the outcome of the game and I don't see how it didn't. McCann walked the next at bat which would have produced a run and kept the bases loaded with only one away. That would be a two run game at that point and bases loaded. I don't see Gonzalez winning the protest, but the logic is there, I wouldn't be shocked let's put it that way.

Just got home from that clusterfuck. I fully expected something like this to happen to the Braves. Just saw MLB press conference, what a crock. You can't say Atlanta fans don't care anymore. The place was fucking nuts. Play 162 games for that? I would ask the umpire why even make that call in that situation. That's the problem with sports, these officials like to interject themselves in the game.

Tough loss for Braves for sure. Glad Chipper somewhat redeemed his error with that hit in 9th. But I have to question the whole 1 game playoff. So much can happen in 1 game and it seems a lot of that kinda stuff happened here. Should they go to a 3 game series? I think no one doubts that the extra wild card team is a success, but just a single game?
