field gets an inf hit...kind of

[Guest]

Why did Fontenot take so much time there?

[Outshined_One]

Fielder was out by half a step.

[Careless]

Read As They See Em, great book on MLB umpires. These guys are better than most think.

The idea that a business could not fire a single employee for being bad at one of the most desirable jobs in the country for a 20 year period seems absurd, especially when we can watch, day to day, the calls that Angel Hernandez blows that a large majority of other umpires do not.

[Eric Clipperton]

This broadcast makes me extremely glad to be going to next sunday's game...wow the ESPN sunday night crew destroys my intelligence with every sentence.

 

Seems like we messed up the Fielder shift there...

[Cynosure]

DeRo hustles and makes that play.

[Magnetic Curses]

how does he beat that out?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

It's like Fontenot forgot he needed to throw the ball to get the out. He had slowed down, then still took 2 more steps.

 

Good point by Morgan though that he might've been looking to make a play at 2nd.

[Tryptamine]

How is it even possible that Fielder gets an infield single> Someone should have to fall over and break an appendage for that to happen.

[Guest]

Fielder was out by half a step.

 

Correct.

 

I notice the announcers aren't making mention of it.

[Outshined_One]

Fielder was out by half a step.

 

And maybe not.

[Cynosure]

And he makes up for it there.

[Tryptamine]

Wow Fonty redeemed himself. Amazing.

[Magnetic Curses]

that will do.

[ChiCubsFan]

And Fontenot makes up for the last play. Wow.

[CyHawk_Cub]

[Hall7810]

[PrimeTime]

Way to redeem yourself

Why did Fontenot take so much time there?
