    Yea, watched it live here in Cleveland and I can't see how they could mess that up when they viewed the replay. Major screw up that will be talked about for quite awhile.

    The 2-out double in the top of the 9th was a home run by 4 feet. Umpires reviewed it and somehow upheld the initial call of double. Can't wait to hear their reasoning.

    We deserve some good luck once in awhile.

    Regardless, horrible call

    Newcombe, Two outs in the 9th and a Home Run was called a double. It clearly hit the pole above and behind the Home Run line and came back in and was ruled a double even after Umps reviewed it. Lots of Luck betting Lots money theses days. I said it before instant replay has exposed Umps, Ref's. I can see calling it a double without replay but after looking at the replay come on. They're saying they didn't have the same view are you kidding me.

    That seems like the only logical explanation, but the Baseball Tonight guys say they had both the Cleveland and Oakland feeds. If they did have the Cleveland feed, then the only explanation is they had their eyes closed when they watched the replay.

    MLB should be ashamed of themselves for having Angel Hernandez as an umpire.
    This guy does not have a clue.
    Selig has to do something about this guy for the integrity of the game...Just terrible

    4 games by 1 run and a hosing it just doesn't get any better then that. I don't know how 4 guys 8 eyes that somebody doesn't say you know that looks like a home run to me. when the manager said (Your could read part of it from his lips) we looked at it in the clubhouse or dugout and it hit the pole why can't the Umps go back and take another look the purpose of replay is to get it right. It's amazing how replay has showed what we put up with for years. that 98% shit we heard all them years what a crock that is Take away the easy first base calls and there lucky if they get 60% right.

    Put a guy in the booth and do what college does every play you have another ump in the booth look at it or do away with Replay and do away with instant replay. Tomorrow you'll read in the paper we're sorry but we missed it.

    Should have started the game tied today but they're too old school and rigid. What happens if oak misses playoffs by one game?

    You do that and you're basically freerolling Oakland last night. They go ahead and win that game, and everything is good with them. They lose it, and they get another shot to win it? It completely sucks what happened, but I don't see any way how you can reverse it without completely screwing the other team.

    Really turns a lot of fans off though. MLB seems to make more than their fair share of PR blunders.

    The only thing I have a problem with is that it's the Crew Chief that makes the final call now I understand that I was in that position for a long time but I listened and encouraged my crew to voice there opinion behind closed doors so the decision made was the right one. When you have a tape there are occasions when it's inconclusive and you go with the call that was first made but this was so clear. With that tape it's inexcusable to blow that call. it's called a "Crew" and I can't believe that one or more of the Umps didn't disagree or say It looks to me like a Home Run in a respectful way.

    When your dealing with the chief there's a proper way of telling him he's wrong which this one was or is it us against them and whatever our chief say's we back him up. I would suspend them all for one game for making such a blatant mistake. This wasn't a bang bang at second base where it was a judgement call and that's it. This was a judgement call until you can look at tape then it's your responsibility to get it right.

    I can't say what really happen in that room because I wasn't there so I maybe misjudging them but I just can't believe not one of them disagreed with the call. Tommy is right a mistake is made and you can't give it to them the next day and start from there you got screwed and you have to live with it. Remember the Denver Bronco call a few years ago in a football game that cost if I remember right a playoff spot and a division title. I could be wrong but there's no do-overs the next day in sports on bad calls.
