MLB Corruption

In an MLB playoff game between the Twins and Yankees, an umpire lies and says that a ball that was indisputably and transparently fair was foul. This video shows overwhelmingly that it was impossible for the umpire's call to be a "mistake". It had to have been done consciously. Any arguments to the contrary violate the evidence.

The bigger question is, why are you angry at ME? Even if it wasn't done intentionally but rather 'cause the ump is a total idiot....then shouldn't you be outraged at MLB for allowing such gross incompetence?

So, as a baseball fan, your priorities are backwards. Maybe you're just a very trusting and loving individual who doesn't like to believe in corruption. If so, I wish that you'd extend some of your trust to strangers like me, instead of corporations like MLB.

GCohen,

This particular play was different from many other calls (like the Inge call you cited, or also the infield single Chase Utley was awarded in game 3 of the NLDS) because there was NO BELIEVABLE WAY that the umpire did this by accident. Those other plays are, in my opinion, very forgivable mistakes.

This was corruption, not an accident. The ball might as well have landed in center field it was so obvious.

Im a Yankees fan but Ray Charles could have seen that

@Eclipton it also screwed the twins out of going to the world series, and this is why I hate the yankees

This is why we need to have replay reviews in MLB. There have been bad calls in MLB just like every other pro sports league, but this one was horrible. Anyone else could have gotten the call right. If there's any sport that needs replay reviews that doesn't right now, it's baseball.

CameronFanSite: Because this entire vid and post is ludicrous. I said it in my original reply, ...you dont' umpire do you? The answer MUST be "no".

Phil Cuzzi probably got fined in a major way for this. But, ...corruption? Come on man! Like I said to Jurkis1, do you think 9/11 involved the Government too? Please.....

[metzilla]

jurkis1 ...your name fits bro. You probably think that 9/11 was caused by the government too, right? [rolleyes]

@Drewski131313 Which is more probable: the umpire made a mistake because he is human or the umpire intentionally made the wrong call?

Keep in mind that if he was caught he would be fired and face criminal prosecution.

I rest my case.

[metzilla]

And another thing, ...this entire video post can / could be taken as slander. I'd be careful of what you accuse!

[metzilla]

You my friend, and an absolute bafoon! Are you an umpire? Dumb question, because obviously you're not or you would have researched and found out about the explanation on what happend, and, more importantly, WHY it happened.

Now, ...bad call?? HOORRRRIIBBBLE call, but CORRUPTION? Please, find something worth while to post about ok?

@DSpratlincom I know this is a late reply BUT what evidence do you need? It was the 11th inning, if that was fair the Twins would have obviously scored and won the game. The umpire could have not made any mistake, especially when you are 5 feet away from the ball. He clearly saw it hit the LF glove and the dirt bounce in fair territory, a blind guy could've called that fair
