Its really the “horseshit” to “let’s go!” ratio that determines if you’re major league material.

Obviously foul. If a replay can't solve this then why have it?

Every great vocabulary includes the utilitarian “horseshit”. It’s one of my favorites.

I see no lies

Hard same bro.

I did-but then, I read "Ball Four" several times when I was younger.

I was just wondering if that's considered a safe word for MLB? lol, everyone uses it!

My uncle who played in the majors from 78-86, even got a ring, but anyways, he has said before that he has been ejected for calling an umps call "bullshit" which leads me to believe that maybe they would prefer to be called "horseshit"

It's the common phrase used against umpires in MLB, no idea why.

@Deported addict That’s literally what he said originally

​@Deported addict that's not true

​@Deported addict False. The ball does not have to TOUCH the chalk. If any part of the spherical baseball is vertically over the plane of the white fair line/chalk, its fair, even if its not touching the chalk.

was wondering what the ruling was, then it's clearly a fair ball.

Bingo

Great catch!

yeah its not like the baby will learn any of those words anyway... too young

She had been telling her kid just the other day that the ball needs to physically touch the line for it to be considered fair. She didn't want to get shown wrong and lose respect. Smart parenting.

The Close Calls Sports video actually acknowledges this mom-- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p5l_eMl5rqyYqJ8.html&ab_channel=CloseCallSports go to around the 6:15 mark

thats a great fckin catch bro

Was going to make the same exact post... would have called that fair as well. Either way, really dumb play by the pitcher with the bases loaded. Pick it up and worst case, you gave up one.

Jimmy maybe a bit unclear on the rules. Definitely fair.

Yep kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrN1daufypqUmpc.html

I watch soccer and that's the goal line system, pretty easy to understand. Don't know why baseball watchers are confused about this.

@Bob Saget no, it doesn't

@@john4803 I'll tell you where, you mention it in the last part there.. On or OVER.. what's so difficult to understand Yes, the camera is at a slight angle. But even with that the ball is definitely at the minimum OVER the line, if not touching it. OVER the line is a fair ball, when touched, as was the case here Umpires get a Cluster F of a play, call it properly, and people STILL bitch Such a tired narrative

@Don't Be Stupid yeah, but we couldn’t confirm it during COVID.

I saw this and thought wow the pirates actually scored

To be fair the plot twist was at the end when they revealed the final score

I dunno, I can believe the Pirates blew a 6 run lead

Yea, don't worry, they Pirated it up later in the game to blow this nice lead

As a Mets fan, I am not surprised at all that they weren’t.

Yep. It is very easy to see. They would have been better not to touch it as it could roll back foul

Couch Umpires strike again.

@@opriax423 uh...yeah.....er...ok.

yeah it would be ridiculous if the rule was that the ball has to make contact with the line, considering it’s a sphere. just imagine looking from directly overhead, and if the ball is on top of the line it’s fair.

@@nate_storm And it has until it is touched or passes 1st or 3rd base to roll back foul

At least they aren't the diamondbacks or orioles The pirates are still nowhere close to their trench of bad

Does it have to be over or just on it?

I think that rule applies to the ball first being hit into fair territory. But I'm not completely sure the ball was hit into the dirt in the batters box which makes it foul? Correct? Then if that's the case the ball wouldn't be fair here, again I'm not 100% sure. I think you're referring to this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdZxrM180dGxeY0.html

That is wrong

​@@matlohn9381 Any part of the ball ON or OVER the line is the rule. The exact wording of the rule per OBR is "while on or over fair territory touches the person of an umpire or player". Fair territory includes the lines. So the ball being having any part of it over any part of the line makes it a fair ball, even if the part over the line is not directly in contact with the ground.

Yep, it’s actually fair line and not a foul line. Fair ball.

and i'm reminded that it's baseball so who really cares lol

Eh, same here!

If you know the rules you will know that that ball satisfies the foul ball definition in the rules also but we all defer to fair for a ball that has to be adjudged before the base. If that ball first hit in the outfield it could well be foul per the rules and an MLB interp. In any case if @Jomboy had played any kind of baseball, Tball, recball, LL, PONY I'm amazed that he couldn't tell that the ball was fair. Rule mavens, such as I, can point out the gray areas of the fair foul definitions but that ball, being over fair territory, has been called fair in any game in the history of baseball.

Is it reviewable though? It was clearly fair, but I was under the impression that the ref let it play on. It was so close, that if it was foul, it could've been reviewed. Instead of calling it foul, and costing a team some runs regardless of the outcome of the challenge.

@@jamesmurray3948 You’re right. In the rules it also has the same “on or over” wording when defining a foul ball. You just have to go with what’s the agreed upon definition I guess, and I’ve always heard this is a fair ball

@@jamesmurray3948 "If you know the rules you will know that ball satisfies the foul ball rules also." No it doesn't. "Foul Ball" "Definition" "The foul lines and foul poles are used to demarcate fair territory and, thus, determine what constitutes a foul ball. Any batted ball that first contacts a fielder while the ball is in foul territory is considered foul. If not touched by a fielder in fair territory, any batted ball that first contacts the field in foul territory beyond first or third base -- with the foul lines and foul poles counting as fair territory -- is considered foul. *Batted balls that first contact the field between home plate and first or third base are considered foul if they don't subsequently bounce over or directly contact either base, otherwise pass either base while in fair territory, or ultimately settle at some point in fair territory between home plate and either base.* " If any portion of the ball is in fair territory the ball is fair. The lines are fair territory. That ball was touched with part of the ball in fair territory. That was a fair ball.

@@notahotshot I agree we call that a fair ball. but your definition does not come from the rules which have some ambiguity. "A FOUL BALL is a batted ball that settles on foul territory between home and first base, or between home and third base, or that bounds past first or third base on or over foul territory, or that first falls on foul territory beyond first or third base, or that, while on or over foul territory, touches the person of an umpire or player, or any object foreign to the natural ground." There is even a difference in how a fly ball hitting the ground in the outfield is judged fair or foul as opposed to a ball prior to the base. MLB has an interp that explains how they want it called.

@aaa I mean...it really is though. I don't know what to tell you if you don't think that's "on or over the line" other than you should have your eyesight checked.

@aaa clearly over the line at 2:19

@aaa I mean sure, the MLB umpire right there called it fair, and sure, MLB replay backed him up, and sure, every reputable outlet/announcer/commentator called it fair, but yeah..It's probably me that's bad at judging basic reality. What are angles? How do spheres work? It's all a mystery to this professional referee. If you got foul @aaa, you got foul. It's just that no one else does. We good now?

And Bonus Bleacher Creature Fight The Same Night Recorded By Homer Simpson

It never touched the line tho the skid mark was from the glove

@Frank Lincoln didn’t even look like it touch or was even part of the ball was over but now idc cause my team won if they lost I’d be kinda pissed 🤣🤣

@@x2_notdrippzy467 it doesn’t have to touch the line

If you notice that the apex of the ball is touching foul territory but part of the sphere is over fair territory. When pitcher is touching the ball. It’s considered fair…..by rule. I’m a college umpire so I actually had this situation on a rules test years ago

Also once you argue a call with an umpire I believe you lose the right to challenge, don’t quite me on that thoug.

I don't understand, nor have I seen before, a foul ball turn fair. If a batter fouls a ball behind home plate, but it ricochets off a post back into fair territory, I guess it's good to go?

@@Kildayyan The ball has to come back in off it's own momentum to be fair again. It cannot hit anything other than the ground. Once it hits a fence, post....anything, it's a foul ball.

@@Kildayyan No. What often does happen is for example the batter lays down a bunt on the 3rd base line. The ball could be foul but turn in from hitting some dirt or uneven surface and then become a fair ball when it either stops in fair territory before reaching 3rd base or it is touched while it's in fair territory.

it hit his leg before anything happened so it should've been foul but no one said anything about that

@@imdomtv it never hit anyone's leg

Clearly was a foul ball.

@@bearsredzone845 I don't understand how people think it was foul, the rule states that if any part of the ball is over the line and the player touches it, it's fair

@@millerschenewark1708Look again.

I’m a Mets fan and I think it was fair bruv don’t judge all of us

Also it’s a tough call, a literal borderline play, and that camera angle makes it tough to see, no need to get mad at Jomboy

@Tejesh Patel I mean I didn't know that until about two minutes ago when I started reading the comments.

@@cgood5035 yeah I could understand how walker thought it was foul because it was barely on the line

@@cgood5035 It's not borderline at all. Clearly fair. The edge of the ball needs to be completely away from the white to be foul, not the bottom of the ball. It's easily fair by a couple of inches and the ump was in a perfect position to see that.

@Deported addict Javy's steal of 1st

Yes, people say it has to be touching the chalk. No, it doesn't.

Lol yes it does have to touch the chalk otherwise it is touching foul territory and only foul territory. FYI that’s literally the purpose of chalk is that you can check the chalk and see if the ball made contact or see it fly up.

@@victorunger read the rules. Sphere of the ball crosses the PLANE...

@@victorunger the purpose of the chalk is to outline the field of play. What is fair and what is foul. The ball doesn’t need to touch the chalk for any reason.

Victor, you obviously don’t know the rules. It’s like the goal line in football-it only has to break the plane of the white line. The ball does NOT have to touch the white chalk line. As explained earlier, only the curve of the ball has to break the plane of the chalk line. Case closed. Look up the rule.

And it’s foul when any part of the ball is on or over foul territory. The rules for both say the exact same thing so. It’s not as clear as you think. Basically whatever ruling they make is the one that stands in these cases.

@@kf4744 that is just not true and I'm not sure why you would think that, the ball must be fully in foul territory to be ruled foul.

I want one too

Noooooo imma Nats fan

Nah

Agreed. I feel like there have been multiple instances where Jomboy hasn’t seemed to know the exact rule. Or maybe he does it to encourage people like us to comment and feed the algorithm. :0 Either way, this ball is very clearly fair.

Yep. No different than if the ball were 5 feet in the air, directly above the line. You cant just swat it foul from there.

So you’re saying if the curvature of the ball crosses over the foul line and a player touches the ball, then it is a fair ball? Makes sense if so. Tough call none the less. I would’ve called it foul as the chalk was untouched.
