if u have ever played baseball you would have known what happened theres no point in trying to explain cuz your probably from st. thomas. no runner can intentionally knock the ball out of the glove...therefore he should be out...sorry bro

[tfata5]

this is bullshit! St. Thomas is a bunch of hacksaws...umpires got the call WRONG

[xxtheshutoutxx]

@tfata5 i live in md so im not biased... but if the ball goes to right center all the way to the GRASS, theres no possible way he knocked the ball out.. the first baseman needs to field the fucking ball the right way. st. thomas wins.. shut the fuck up.

The coach for St. Thomas if funny looking

ive seen manys plays where the player drops the ball when he goes for a tag, and it always ends up 4-5 feet around the play bc its "dropped", NEVER have I seen it go into the outfield, balls dont "drop" from 1B to RF. ball was intentionally knocked out, GUY SHOULD BE OUT

@johnnybbox24 not from etobickoe, played in vaughan and had some intense games them and my team wouldve reacted the same way. those umps deserved a beating. what the video didnt show/explain; they huddled twice and declared the rangers winners. then the 3rd base ump and the 2nd base ump (both from st.thomas) got involved and the 3rd base ump was clearly stating his case for st.thomas to win.(his opinion means nothing bc hes @ third) then they declare st.thomas winners, i would lose my shit too

[johnnybbox24]

@DLGFG1234 Wow you definitely sound like an Etobicoke player or fan who needs to cry in a river. Oh and if St.Thomas wouldn't have won if it wasn't in their hometown perhaps you'd like to explain then how they ended up winning the Jr. Innercounty Championship this year. Oh and while St.Thomas is at the nationals it'll be interesting to see/hear when Baseball Ontario decides to put a ban on your Etobicoke team next year from the tournament because of police involvement.

[DLGFG1234]

@johnnybbox24 you work all year around for that moment and to have it blown by an ump would cause any team to lose their shit. the kid on st.thomas knocked the ball out of his glove by throwing a "chicken wing" as he ran by. no other way does a ball end up in RF. dirty play kid was out. plus the first baseman also touched the bag

[DLGFG1234]

kid should be out. no way does a ball end up in RF unless the player knocks it out of the glove (bush league play). plus the firstbaseman alos touched the bag at the same time. i spoke to someone on the team. St.thomas wouldnt have won the game if it was any where else but there home town. hope you kids get smacked in the nationals

[johnnybbox24]

@phimurth The ball ended up at just the grass area of right field since the runner was running to try and tag him he could have it dropped out and the ball simply rolled out there very simple

ball never lies
