ha! ive been saying all night that mcclelland has been fucking up calls left and right and there he goes missing the biggest one of the game. should be 2 outs with runners on 1st and 2nd.
 
the only thing that could have marred this start to october is exactly what happened, bad call to end the game at the plate. absolutely terrific game otherwise.
 
OMG HE NEVER TOUCHED!!!! Hoffman blew it, though.
edit: I think Tulo locked up the ROY in this game.
 
I turned the channel to the game only in time to see the 'winning' run so I missed that. Was watching Jay Leno.

i've never seen a manager (he's not a coach) actually get something overturned, so not really. going out there is more about sticking up for your player than anything else.

i watched it from about the middle of the fifth, though i got gf aggro'd in the top of the 13th so missed the homer
 
i agree it was a bad bad bad call at home plate, but it makes up for the home run the rocks got hosed out of when the ball bounced out of the wheelchair bacn onto the field making it a double.

There was an Angels game a few years ago where Scioscia argued a call that would have ended the game and they got a second opinion from another ump who saw the play and it was overturned. I believe the other team had actually walked off the field, and they had to come back on and resume the game.
 
The umps have gotten infinitely better about asking other members of the crew for help on disputed calls and even rarely overturning them, but he was standing right on top of the play. There's no logical reason to confer with any other ump on that type of call, they aren't in position to see what happened and would just defer to the home plate ump. Sucks for Padres fans. There's the Don Denkinger moment in your teams' history.

And that was about as ugly and ineffective a slide as a major leaguer can make, between almost concussing himself and getting his hand spiked, maybe he learned his lesson about head first slides.
 
I don't think you could tell from the replay whether he touched or not. He got under the foot of the catcher and he might have sneaked in that way...extremely hard to tell, but yeah they got screwed out of a HR that would have won them the game so...

Cuz they know that the Rockies got screwed out of a HR

Agreed. It was clear from a replay that the white ball dissappeared behind the yellow line making that hit a HR not a double and that would have been the ball game 7-6 Rockies.

So all in all 2 HORRID calls but the correct team won the game.
 
Woohoo!! :thumbsup:

I think he probably got his hand on the plate underneath the catcher's foot. Crazy way to end the game, but cool for us Denver dwellers. They can beat anybody in the National league at the moment.

Tulo made some wicked defensive plays and some key hits - this should lock up rookie of the year, I hope.

Yeah I think he did too.

How about the fielding percentage of the Rockies?

Yup I hope Tulo gets ROTY as well. He has made outstanding plays. He missed on in this game but it was a very very hard ball to get to and deliver for an out so I can't really fault him on that.

I'm trying to get tickets to Sunday's game. Their servers are freaking hammered.

You can say that, but you never know what would have happened if they counted that as a HR. The Rockies would be up 2 at that point, so you never know how the Padres would have played the rest of the game knowing they were down 2.

But as for the home plate call, that was it for the Padres. They won't have another AB, they won't get another chance. The game ended right there. That is the major difference between the two blown calls.
 
I can't decide which is worse:

The Mets collapse or what happened to the Padres.

Thwarted by Tony Gwynn?s son,
one strike away.

losing a key player in one of the most bizarre umpire incidents ever.

losing the division to one of the most pythagoreically lucky teams ever,
by one game.

losing the wild card to one of the greatest stretch runs (14-1!) ever,
by one game, by one run, on a questionable call.

That?s one cruel and ironic run of bad luck

That was a class A, major-league, googlopexic type of a blown call. I haven't seen a screw job this bad since I saw that black midget porn video i watched the other week.
