**** Official Cards @ Braves 'play in' ****

I figured there is enough interest in both teams from the posters on this board.

Good luck!

You are arguing whether the rule makes sense. He made a call anyone who has either played or watched baseball regularly have seen called a thousand times. It sucks because Holliday and Kosma both screwed up, it doesn't change whether the rule can be applied.

Go ahead and point me in the direction of those thousands of infield fly calls that have been made that deep in the outfield.

I'm sure you just watch/play more baseball than me, though. Which is why I'm the only one making a big deal out of that blatantly horrible call.

I think you need to read the rule again. If the situation arises and the infielder can make the play reasonably, its infield fly rule.

The rule requires a level of common sense, common sense that is apparently lacking in Cardinal homers on this board. The rule was put in place to protect the offensive team from the defensive team intentionally dropping the ball on a short fly ball and turning a double/triple play.

Nothing about that ball was worthy of the infield fly rule which is why you didn't see the ****ing infield umps raising their hands signaling for the infield fly rule. The 3rd base ump was getting back into position to make a call at 3rd on the chance of a throw and then he sticks his hand up when he sees the outfield ump ruling for infield fly, puts it back down, and then back up. He probably had a "wtf?" moment as well when he first put his hand up.

Not butthurt. I knew the Cubs were going to be terrible. They are in a few year rebuilding phase after their failed attempt to buy a WS.

I was bitching about the same call made against the Packers. Guess I'm a butthurt Chiefs fan aswell... wait...

I hate seeing shit like that. It ruins the game. No reason that call shouldn't have been overruled on the field and the game played on with 1 out and the bases loaded.

The timing gripe is wrong - it has to be immediate upon the OFer getting camped, not immediate upon impact.
.
In my opinion its a touch beyond ordinary effort, and I also am not sure I agree with your interpretation of "immediate infield fly call". Either way I am not going to lose any sleep over it. My team plays tomorrow afternoon.

I haven't seen anyone on here who said he should have made the call. He is justified in making it however based on what was happening at the time. It doesn't matter where the infielder is at the time. If he is under the ball, the umpire can in his judgement throw the arm up to signal it is likely a catch and runners move at their own risk.

That's one of my issues with it. Part of the rule is calling it in reasonable time. Calling it when its 20 feet from the ground doesn't give the runners the ability to make a decision based on the rule. As anybody that has run the bases knows, at that point in the decent of the ball you are half way and leaning one way or the other. The call came too late for a runner to make decision based off of "infield fly rule" instead of based off the actions happening in front of them.

Haters are going to hate. ATL committed 3 unforced errors. How many did Texas commit? It's a trend. Other teams have a hard time dealing with the pressure and crack.

We have not been favored in a series since 2004 when we got our asses handed to us by the Red Sox.

Look at our team. We are not suppose to win. We are written off as not worthy. But we hang in there, we scrap, we don't give up, we play a good brand of baseball. It's a damn good team to be a fan of and some of those haters just wish their team played like the Cardinals.

My only beefs are:

He made the call when the ball had almost reached the ground. The call hand signaled call MUST be immediate, and MUST be clear, it was neither.

So much for adhering to their own written rules. Yes the outcome of the game absolutely could've been different, w/ the bases loaded and one out. Am i saying it would've? Not necessarily, but COULD have.

That's all i'm saying.

Good to hear, hope you made it back home, that's a bitch of a drive. Oh wait you're not in Missouri anymore, you're in Florida, right?
