They certainly could have, they didn't though.

I doubt this will get reversed. Sucks.

Huh?

You think it stands?

There is no such thing as an "outfield fly rule." Should have been bases loaded with 1 out.

I don't see how there is any chance the result is upheld. This game decides who have a chance at a WS.

And the protest has been denied...no surprise.

i hope you're right - but they can call the IFFR practically on the warning-track, if they wanted to - If an infielder is enovlved in the play or has a chance at the play, at least that's what they just said on the TV, Atlanta's biggest hope should be that they recognize the ump waited until the ball was 9' off the ground before he signaled. They have to give the call immediately. I just hope other factors don't enter into their decision.

I would think that in a game that decides who gets a chance at a WS with a call that doesn't even exist in the rulebook potentially changing the outcome of the game that it would be a no brainer.

Yeah, they really dig those small market midwestern teams.

My ass. Atlanta is three or four times the size of St. Louis and has a large national fanbase from years of TBS broadcasts. Don't forget the love affair everybody had with Chipper this year, too. Frankly, I'm stunned that such a godawful call DIDN'T go against us. It damn well would have in the WWNFL.

Do you think MLB wants to see St. Louis play in the World Series over teams like Philadelphia and New York? Do you think Fox does? They want Yankees v. Dodgers every ****ing year.
