Thanks to the folks over at Twinkie Town for pointing out this video.
I would buy 100 copies of "The Show" if it guaranteed this would happen in real life.
PS: Upon a second viewing, three things bother me (keep in mind that the umpire in me comes out every so often)
1) Casilla doesn't touch second.
2) The home plate umpire would never have his mask on for a tag at home.
3) The home plate umpire's "safe" mechanic is awful.
Another problem: It appears that was Ullger coaching third...
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that I am still upset that this call was blown in 09?
ReplyDeleteCan't make the call at second from that angle...Casilla probably touched the base, though...Probably the side of the base, rather than the top.
ReplyDeleteI think he touched the base on the inside corner like he should do, but used the wrong foot. Mike, it is o.k. because after I watched that I became upset.
