Nice call here at 2nd by Paul Nauert (sp?) ....at real speed he looks safe, but they got him!

 

However,.... watch carefully, ...Molina has a discussion w/ Rob Drake on possible INT?

I think he called the INT., looks like he is pointing at the batter but video doesn't show it long enough to be sure. Doesn't matter anyhow because they got the out at second.

 

Nevermind, what I saw was a strike mechanic, not an INT call.

He didn't ........I was watching the game.........

[mstaylor]

Definitely BI, it doesn't matter since they got him but it could have been an interesting discussion if they hadn't. 

[benrosen]

Am I the only one that has him safe? Looks like they missed the INT so he should be out anyway.

[bam]

I had him safe in real time AND slow-mo.  My reaction in real time was "WOW!  Safe!  Out?!?! No way!!"  My reaction to the slo-mo was "WOW! That was close"

[mstaylor]

Nope he was definitely out.

[bam]

Nope he was definitely out.

There's nothing "definitely" about this:

The MLB Network feed had the YESS Network showing the game and they stopped it in super slo-mo ....they got him .....

actually it does matter.. the count was 3-2 batter swung and missed... this is a dead ball in this play.

I don't think that makes the ball dead I think you still wait to see the result of the initial throw.  Could matter if there were other runners and not as many outs.

If you have INT in this play, runner is automatically out b/c of the count.  No matter what happens (unless two are out), R1 is out.

Yes R1 is going to be out one way or the other but that doesn't mean the ball is dead.  Suppose there were no outs at the beginning and an R3 who delayed stealed to home when the throw went to second.  The the batter is out 1, R1 is out 2 ONTHE THROW the interference is ignored (I thin the rule actually says something like play proceeds without reference to the interference) and the run scores.

He was safe.

 

Should have been INT anyway, however.

HE WAS NOT SAFE.
