One of TheSporting News' most enduringpublicationswas something we called the . We'd come up with scenariosthat could only be resolved with adeep dive into the rule book. A play in Thursday's Blue Jays-A's game might have merited a couple of chapters.
The Cliff's Notes version San Francisco 49Ers T Shirts , from The A sociated Pre s' article:
Toronto loaded the bases with one out in the second inning. Anthony Gose then hit a grounder to first baseman Nate Freiman. Freiman appeared to tag Munenori Kawasaki as he ran for second base, but umpire Vic Carapazza ruled Freiman mi sed the tag and Kawasaki was safe.
Freiman threw to catcher Stephen Vogt, who stepped on home plate for a forceout with Edwin Encarnacion, the runner on third, approaching.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons argued that Kawasaki was out and that Encarnacion should be allowed to score because there would have been no force play at the plate.
After a delay of 4 minutes, 27 seconds, the call was overturned and the Blue Jays were given a run.
Oakland manager Bob Melvin immediately came out to argue. The A's were playing the remainder of the game under protest.
Got all that? The Reuben Foster Jerseys Jays wisely traded an out at first base for a run.But the reversal wasn'tfair to the A's, who didn't try to tag Encarnacion because they sawCarapazza's (blown) call and thought there was no force at the plate.
No wonder Melvinprotested. Not sure how much standing he has, though,because the umpireshad to let the run count after correcting the call on the Colin Kaepernick Jerseys bases.
Yet another tangle in the replay system.
UPDATE: The A's won the game, so the protest is moot. The protest would have been heard had the A's lost.
UPDATE 2: Umpiring crew chief Bill Miller gave a brief explanationafter the game:
"We can't put runners back," Miller told a reporter, per the AP."We have to go with what happened on the field, and what happened on the field was (Vogt) tagged home plate but he did not tag the runner. Unfortunately that was in direct relation to the call on the field at first base."
Miller added:"Replay's a new dimension to this game and there's going to be quirks and funny plays like this that happen.What happened on the field was there was a tag (at first base) Terrell Owens Jerseys , (but) there was not a tag on the runner at home."
