that's the kind of defense that was killing them earlier in the season

or not - the fan's hands were in the field of play. that's an out

[Street Pharmacist]

Phew

[Enoch Root]

alright, top of the order - let's make that call irrelevant

That's not entirely accurate. The ball hit the fan on his side of the fence (was going to be a home run if neither Revere nor the fan were there). The fan's hands were indeed over on Revere's side of the fence, however, the umpiring crew determined that this did not cause Revere to be unable to play the ball.

which would be a bad call - try catching a ball that is tipped by someone else one foot in front of your glove

In this case, you have to assume that the umpiring crew believed that Revere wouldn't have caught the ball without the fan interference. And they'd be correct.

Yankees should ban fans

I'm done discussing this but you simply don't know that as a fact

Jays have had no mo since the homer - they need somebody to do something

[Antithesis]

Nice double play there - two high powered offenses struggling to get things going at the moment.

[Enoch Root]

can Donaldson do it again?

[Enoch Root]

and of course a brutal call at a key time

[Dan02]

This ump is really inconsistent on the inside of the plate.

[flames_fan_down_under]

That was inside and way off the plate.

[Enoch Root]

they need to get him over 100 pitches this inning

[Enoch Root]

if they can get something going, it'll be the end of Eovaldi

[Blaster86]

There you go.
