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.

The infield fly rule has to be called immediately on routine pop ups in the infield where the infielder is camped under the ball to protect the offensive team.

The infielder was back pedaling 50 feet in the outfield and was never at any point camped under the ball.

Doesn't matter. They've already denied the protest which is a joke.

I wouldn't have even been able to pop a cork on a bottle after that if I was a Cardinals player.

In no way was the rule applied correctly.

wow, drat. Oh well

yeah precisley - -it's that his call was so delayed, the call is for everyone watching and playing - but it's made immediately. They do have to make it immediate for the on base runners.

Great job MLB. Way to NOT admit your mistake at such a momentous/opportune time.

bunch of Scott Pioli's wearing Macgregor vests!

Shit like that should NEVER happen. Ridiculous how the umps couldn't get together and overrule such a terrible call and play on with 1 out and the bases loaded.
