Buehrle>Wood Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Oh my god those are announcers are unbearable and I only listened for ten seconds. "The way Cabrera reacted...blahblah". You mean like he thought it was a foul ball, you idiot? This coming from the Cubs, who has Aram sit at the plate for twenty minutes after he hits his.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I just saw the replay on Comcast and it sure looks like the ball changed direction and the only way it does that is if it ticked the foul pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another pole right behind the foul pole. It clearly hit that pole, and was correctly called foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The ball bounced off of something. Personally, I think it hit the foul pole, what else would it have hit. I know this picture isn't that good but theres nothing directly behind the foul pole that makes me think the ball didn't hit it. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1096/144527...0af3deb04_o.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse for this loss. The Flubs didn't win this game, we handed it to them. Silver platter and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) That was a foul ball. If this game was anywhere else in the Majors, that ball is fair. The lines at Wrigley are fairly deep. Edited June 21, 2008 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Actually, I digress...maybe that ball wasn't foul. Here's a picture, it's definitely questionable. http://6.imagebam.com/dl.php?ID=8069327&am...de58ba79d303838 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't take the closest look to it, but from how Farmer and Stone described it on the radio, they made it seem like it hooked foul. I believed them lol.

quickman Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 actually I was more upset with the punchout of AJ's check swing in the ninth. not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a joke of a call, yes. Ozzie should've been out of the dugout for that one. The umpire had to seriously miss that play and take a stab in the dark to punch him out on it. Regardless, the play should not have mattered. They had plenty of opportunities to blow the game open. I hope the loss serves as a wake up to the team that they have to play situational hitting for 9 innings, not 2 or 3 or 0. How many lead off doubles did they have that didn't score? I'm contemplating putting a spray chart together for the line-ups RH hitters and LH hitters. I'm not sure it'll prove anything, though.

BobDylan Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Actually, Sox fans, the ball hit the foul pole. I cut and cropped the video to see just the select play and so I could slow it down to watch it frame by frame. The ball bounces off the foul pole, not the wooden post behind it. I'll post all the evidence in a moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxPride56 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) FYI here is another view. I don't know what to think. Watching it live, I thought it was foul.
