Wow, Gary Apple really has no clue what he's talking about. Conforto threw out the runner at second, idiot - it's not a single.
Keith & Cohen would be calling a spade a spade. Even if Lugo got through just fine what were they going to do in the 9th? Let Lugo pitch 3 innings or turn to Diaz who has been a disaster? Anyway you shake it it was a horrific decision.
He clearly caught the ball cleanly, but he wasn't on the base at the time. The key is whether he still had control of it when he actually stepped on second base. How can Darling and Apple not see that? And that's exactly why they overturned the call.
Finally Darling notices what was the obvious issue from the start. Wow, both of these guys (Darling and Apple) have had TERRIBLE games tonight.
And now Darling says that Melancon has a great cutter, and that he benefited from being in the same bullpen as Mariano Rivera, when he's just struck out a guy on a curveball. I really hope he's feeling okay, because he has been absolutely lost out there tonight.
And just like that tomorrow's game becomes a must win situation. It could get real ugly real quickly.
Unfortunate end to the rally. Unfortunate we lost because of just one inning but if we end up losing 2 out of 3 in Atlanta it won’t be that big of a surprise, but we’ve got to avoid the sweep then get back on a roll against the Royals.
Looks like I picked a good night to miss them play I saw the box score, then read that quote.... WTF. Only logic is that Matz was hurting and didnt want to say?
Well, maybe Alonso is finally coming out of his post-Derby slump. Not only does he have 5 hits, but he's hitting it hard up the middle. Three home runs to break the team record. Rosario also with 5 hits to continue his hot hitting. This guy Gagnon pitches like a hockey player.
