Is anyone watching the Tigers/Mariners game?

I think what happened was that Betlre & Guillen were running away from the Umpire so this might have blocked his view of the 3rd & 4th tag attempt.

But was even weirder was when they called Beltre out at 3rd base because he failed to touch second. But he clearly did and the umpire called him safe for it. He touch it as he over slid the bag and then the Guillen, Beltre chase was on.

So the umpires never reversed the original call, the ended up calling Beltre out at third for failing to touch second. Run counts in that situation.

The umpire blew two calls.

I was actually at the game tonight. By definition, the ruling on the field was correct. It was not a force play on the runner that was called out on appeal, it was a TIME play. I believe it's rule 4.09(c) in the official rule book. Since Sexson crossed the plate before the appeal was upheld, and since the batter-runner by definition was NOT forced at second base, the run counts. The problem is that the replays showed the batter being tagged at second base before Sexson scored. With no replay in effect in baseball, it's just one of those things {Fisk/Armbrister/Barnett '75 World Series comes to mind}. How do I know this? I was a professional umpire for 7 years. When was the last time you "strapped it on" and had to judge 95 mph fast balls moving in 3 spatial planes in less than 2 second to render a judgement? Then again, you working as a greeter at Wal-mart must be an equally stressful "career."

Bruce Froemming blew that call twice - first, he missed an obvious tag by Carlos Guillen on both the arm and leg of Beltre, then he called Beltre out for missing second base when it was obvious that he touched the bag. Either way, the inning should have been over with a 2-2 score.

I'm usually pretty forgiving, but that was just bush-league from Froemming. There's no excuse for it.

That was rediculous I stood up and went more crazy than Leyland and Guillen did combined. I have no clue what the heck the 2nd base ump was looking at he clearly tagged him when he over slid the bag then tagged him again when the idiot didnt call him out right away. If the tigers end up loosing I hope they end up protesting the game because it gave it all away right there.

That was possibly the weirdest play of the season..it looked as though guillen made the tag but if he somehow failed to get it in that situation he should be cut for not making that play.

i did i have mlb extra innings theres nothing to do so i put it on because its the best series all weekend and yes they screwed up should be 2-2 beltre was in there and he did get the tag on beltre and the interference of the stolen base waz wrong he blocked pudge!not fair!pudge banged into him by accident!

That was the most messed up play I ever saw. The run should of definitely not of counted the umps are a piece of _____.

WELL UMPIRES ARE NOT PERFECT I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL WHEN THEY MAKE A BAD CALL BUT AGAIN THERE NOT PERFECT

i've watched the replay on mlb.com a couple times, and he never tagged him.

i am getting ready to watch the game...
