Early on in this thread he even said he didn’t agree with the call
I didn’t say I disagreed with it. Or agreed with it. I just said I could see why the umpires called it. And you all went apeshit. A blind man could see that coming.
It was technically the correct call. It just isn’t called consistently.
But of course some LSU fans had to act like it was some grand conspiracy against LSU while others demonstrated their complete ignorance that you can’t just take the fielder out anywhere on the diamond.
Based solely on this thread, I am glad it was called. Simply for the entertainment value it has provided.
And yes, that other screenshot posted shows that Millazo was outside the area he was supposed to slide too.

It was ABSOLUTELY the right call. And yes, a judgement call but one completely defined within the rules.
We lost 2 outs as a interference call from a similar play.
It is called big boy baseball. U get over it quickly and manage to win.
Quit whining LSU fans. Not a good look.

The camera is back and to the left, thus it makes Milazzo appear to be closer to the outfield side of the bag than he actually was.
He comes up on top of the bag after the slide and didn't impede the infielder in any way.
That must be why you're getting ratioed 1-100 now.

Ah, so now they are using trick camera angles to get LSU. There is no limit to to what they will do.

It isn't a "trick angle", it's just where the camera happened to be.
Seems like most people understood that, you didn't, and that's fine.
The world needs ditchdiggers too.

So he was throwing the ball to the camera man instead of first base. They are truly devious in the lengths they will go to get LSU.

It looks like you gained a supporter.
Only 2-104 now, movin' on up.

It is almost like you don’t think people have eyes.
Or is this a deceptive camera angle too?
If only the umpire had been in a better position to make the right call.
It was the correct call. You can get over it. Or not. Makes no difference.

I think they absolutely do.
It's why you're getting ratioed 3-105 right now.

You yourself once stated that upvotes and downvotes don’t mean anything. Were you wrong then? Or are you wrong now?
Posted on 6/2/24 at 1:45 am to captdalton
Nothing here really "means anything" in the grand scheme.
It is funny to watch tRant unite against the bad takes like you, Old Sarge, and BigDickRick consistently have though.

So it doesn’t matter? Is that your final answer? Just a few posts ago it mattered a LOT to you.
Posted on 6/2/24 at 1:56 am to captdalton
I laugh at jokes all the time that don't really "matter."
You falling on your face here is really no different.

It is a thankless job teaching you the rules of baseball. I am happy that while you clearly don’t understand this latest one yet, you were at least exposed to it. Maybe with time it will click for you.

The rule is fine, it just wasn't applied correctly.
For instance, if your screenshots were actually taken down the baseline, as you incorrectly depicted with your drawing, Milazzo would've actually slid behind the base.
Yet somehow, he actually ended up right on top of it. Odd.

Yeah it was a bad call that isn’t typically made under those circumstances and given that type of “normal” slide. Most umps have common sense. This particular ump at that particular moment didn’t.
The rule’s intent is to avoid actual interference and/or injury, there obviously wasn’t anything close to either in this case. It was an umpire unnecessarily injecting himself into a game.
That said, it was early… LSU had plenty of opportunities to overcome it and unfortunately couldn’t. Credit to UNC.
Side note: crazy that this kind of “judgment call” is reviewable but a scoring play like the USC balk interference call isn’t. Who writes these rules lol??
Personally I think this slide interference rule should be changed to: if there is actually no interference with fielder or play, call can’t be made.…. If it doesn’t affect anything, let it be.
With unlimited review and unlimited video, inevitably we’ve all gotten too hung up on the exact definition of rules and Precise words and unfortunately sometimes totally lose common sense judgment and the intent of said rules in the process. Unfortunately there’s not an appeals court during a game to say “well this rule wasn’t written and meant for this situation, and common sense needs to be applied here.”

Watch the video of tha actual play complete BS and take those pictures you posted pics and shove up your a$$
replay at second base
Is it the reason we lost the game probably not but to post like you actually saw this and agreed is BS GUMP
The shortstop had already made the pivot and Millizo sliding did not alter anything

Anyone that watches baseball regularly knows that call was bad and unnecessary.
I don’t have a problem with the replay confirming (based on the exact wording of the rule), my issue is with the original ump call… no one with eyes and a brain makes that call there when there’s no actual interference in real time live.
Someone has to have Common sense here… if there’s actually no runner interference, you can’t call “runner interference.” lol . Seems pretty simple and straight-forward and easily reviewable if necessary. Unfortunately application of rules doesn’t always include common sense.

I think I am more pissed at the Gump in here posting that picture when you can see in the replay the baserunner actually slid right into second base and the SS was never interfered with.
