- HP Umpire Jeremy Riggs ejected Mets manager Luis Rojas following a fair ball call that led to three runs scoring for Pittsburgh. Report: www.closecallsports.com/2021/...
Pirates batter Kevin Newman hit a slow ground ball up the third base line, where it was touched by the glove of New York pitcher Taijuan Walker while on or over fair territory, resulting in a fair ball call. As the ball deflected into foul territory between home plate and the third-base dugout, the Mets appeared to argue the call while Pittsburgh's baserunners continued running the bases, resulting in three runs scoring during the live ball.
Rojas appeared to make contact during his argument with Riggs and upon umpire conference the play stood as called. Also includes prior analysis of the fair/foul rule for batted balls on the infield. - Спорт
This is an example of how much heat umpires take when they make the right call
What's worse is that Riggs is one the top 1%, these umpires get rigorously tested at every level. The expectation of perfection is ridiculous, but even moreso in beer league softball with 16-18 year old umpires who just are trying their best. Rojas should be ashamed of himself.
they made the wrong call
@@gforce97 No they did not, it's very clear on the replay
@@gforce97 how was the call wrong
@@Ep1cRainbow he just wants attention. He knows it’s the right call
It always blows my mind that professional baseball players will stop to argue while a play is still in progress. Get to a dead ball first.
Fielders were confident that the ball was foul. If they could get the umpire to change the call, further action would become immaterial.
Of course, you can't get a judgment call changed by arguing.
the umpires should have made sure that both teams knew the rules before the game started.

Can we all agree that Gary Thorne is awesome and should be back with the NHL on ESPN
Is he no longer calling the Orioles’ games (with Jim Palmer)? I wish the MLB and At Bat apps would tell us, because these guys (and gals) are characters in their own right. I’m still wondering, as a Red Sox lifelong fan, how they managed to let Don Orsillo the best, in my opinion, go to San Diego. He and Jerry Remy were a classic duo. Games were Fun!
@@EdoDetroit he was let go because of a contract dispute.
I can't fucking stand him. I also don't like Doc Emrick. Glad they are off the air.
Thanks, Anthony Lauro. Too bad. Gary Thorne is excellent.
@@EdoDetroit He's no longer with the Orioles. He was filling in for Gary Cohen (who had a previously-scheduled personal day) calling the Mets game.
I love how the announcers are just astonished that Riggs made the right call.
Right?? Its ridiculous
I don't think they were "astonished that Riggs made the right call." Because until we got the look down the third-base line, it looked like it was a foul ball
Gary Thorne is still one of the best. IMHO.
Gary Thorne for the win! Wish like heck he was going back to hockey on ESPN.
Keep in mind the Mets announcers are doing play by play from New York and not at the ballpark in Pittsburgh. Not to excuse their mistake, but it did make their jobs more difficult.
As an Orioles fan I really miss hearing Gary Thorne on the call. Great broadcaster.
I watched the entire series specifically because it was such a treat to hear Gary Thorne call a game. I love Gary Cohen but Gary Thorne is the GOAT.
Isnt it drilled into players starting in little league to always assume its a live ball until told otherwise?
Yes
Walker didn’t have little league though
AbsoFukinLutely ! ,,,,what’s worse is Rojas doesn’t do a thing about it . Time and time again I see dumb mistakes and he doesn’t do squat . Like swinging on 3-0 , down by 4 runs , twice ! ,,,,,,and so much more .

And the Mets end up winning 7-6. Oh lord.

When players have an emotional reaction to a rule they clearly don’t understand, this is usually the result
Im positive the players knew the rule. It was the judgement they (incorrectly) disagreed with.
@Luke Skyballer He was wrong.
@Luke Skyballer You may be right that he was adamant it was foul, but it wasn't. Clearly a fair ball.
How is it that MLB Players DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS FAIR/FOUL. It has to be totally outside the line to be foul, if any part of the ball is on/over the line it is FAIR!!!!!!
Cleary its not all that well known, and, many an umpire has made the wrong call - especially at lower levels of baseball, reinforcing the idea that the ball actually has to be touching the chalk line to be fair.
I really appreciate the person doing this analysis for NOT swearing. Even pointing out the mother protecting the child from this.
I get so tired of hearing the lip reading person that needs to emphasize EVERY profanity. My hat is off to you sir.
It's our pleasure. We're PG, usually!!
We clearly need robo fielders so these things don’t happen anymore

I wonder if Rojas is embarrassed about his childish, costly behavior over a CORRECT call?
its the wrong call, ball was already foul behind home plate
@@gforce97 Uh, no.
@@gforce97 That’s wrong, ball can roll into and out foul ground as many as times as it wants, the decision comes when the ball comes to rest or a player fields it
I highly doubt Rojas is upset with the way he reacted. Every manager blows up at an umpire. If you think this is childish, go watch some Lou Piniella ejections.

I was sleeping up till this point, was up for this then went back to sleep. Always sleep great when baseball is on
Yeah it did look like that ball rolled back to the chalk line and it was the right call.
What I noticed was when Walker got in the umps face while the play was still going on, the ump didn’t say a word.
He "bumped the umpire". Say it ain't so. 7-6. 😂

"We deserve a chance where the umpires can meet and talk about it," Rojas told reporters, including Tim Britton of Newsday, after the game. "That's what I tried to get and I was denied, and that got me fired up."
Rojas is a complete moron and a liar. He came out onto the field like a crazed animal.
Rojas was suspended for two games and fined an undisclosed amount.

Bad decision by the Mets for arguing with the umpire.
@Mikey Hak I only said it was a bad decision to argue with the umpire while the play was going on. Did I say the ball was foul, no because I'm not talking about the play.
@Mikey Hak It was a fair ball. You don't know how fair or foul works.
Very curious and hopefully can get an answer but doesn't the rule books definition of a foul ball have similar verbiage as a fair ball in regards to the on or over? If so how in the world do you determine if it is foul or fair because the rule book would state that it is both if you have a ball touching foul territory but is over fair or vice versa.
Love to see this from Rojas
Yeah,making a complete jackass of himself is awesome
@@martintimmer8574 He was defending his player
@@noahseus defend him for what reason?him being an idiot for not knowing the rules? Throwing a ridiculous tantrum filled with explicit language is absurd. Just shut up and accept it,cause your own player blew it.
@@martintimmer8574 going out their to talk to the umps so that your player doesn’t get ejected and to take the fall yourself if necessary is common.

Good call by Riggs, hopefully a lesson for players throwing a fit before the play is over.
they made the wrong call, ball was clearly foul
@@gforce97 On or over the third base line is fair. I don't know how you think that's a foul ball. Go to 1:58 and go frame by frame and it's clear as day that the ball is fair.
Based on what he wrote below, Bryan just doesn't know the rule. He thought that if the ball first bounces in foul territory it can never become a fair ball.
@Spencer Haywood The umpire could not call it anything until it stopped, or was touched, or passed 3rd base. That is how it works, by rule.
Spencer Haywood You calling people assholes with your knowledge is funny.
I don't care how bad a call is, you can't touch an umpire like that. I hope Rojas gets a long suspension. Officials aren't there to help teams win or lose, they rarely could care less about who is even playing, so there is 0 excuse to ever make contact. This is why I don't umpire anymore. (Note: I don't care the call was right, let's assume it was wrong, it's still unacceptable). MLB also needs to stop being ridiculous and allow these calls to be reviewable, if for no other reason than to avoid these incidents.
why wasn't it reviewable?
@@benjaminmorris5182 Idiotically, the MLB determined that all Fair/Foul that do not require the umpire to turn around are non-reviewable. I have literally 0 idea as to why.
@@Jrose11 The main reason is that once it passes the base in flight, it is determined to be fair or foul by where it lands, which can be seen pretty well on video replay. However, on plays where the ball bounces before the bags, the fair/foul call is based on where it is touched by a fielder or where it crosses over the bag, which is usually when the ball is not on the ground. It's impossible to judge a fair/foul call on video when the ball is not on the ground, especially when there is no camera angle that is directed straight along the line from the tip of home plate.
He bumped one umpire and pushed the other umpire
Baseball is the only sport that allows arguing with the officiating crew, time to change it because it is ridiculous!
I can understand how a Manager in the heat of the moment can lose it, especially when they’re going so bad. What I can’t understand is how he STILL thought it was foul after seeing the replay. Can he be that “not smart”?
Let’s mention, when Luis Rojas is coaching as manager, higher chance of losing, but when jauss manages, they most likely win
Besides the two games during Rojas' suspension for this incident, has Jauss managed before?
Just saw a second ago on another channel. It was something else. Took a crew of umpires to keep the manager away. Hadn't seen anything like it since Rauch.
The problem here is that at worst the manager will be suspended for two games, that’s why crap like this happens. The suspension should be in the range of 10-15 games, and it should only be that lenient if Rojas has never had a similar incident.

he probably didn't.
The difference between a .250 hitter and a .325 hitter is so slim. Emotions can be used with these professional athletes sometimes that is all the difference.

@@rickhaavisto9023 Mikey Hak does not know how fair and foul works.
@Mikey Hak umpire got the call right, and even if he did get it wrong, you play until time is called, sloppy baseball by the mets
In your video from July 13, 2018 it says this would have been a foul ball though. Is there a reason this one is fair and that one is foul?
That deals with a separate subsection of foul law - it applies to balls first touching the ground past 1B/3B only, where the law says it must fall 'on' fair territory.
For this one when a player touches it it must be 'on or over' fair territory, which includes raised parts of the ball.
Edit: that means if the ball had settled where it was touched it should be foul, as a ball must settle 'on' fair territory, not 'on or over'. Although it may just ge touching already I think.
These Dominican players , coaches need to show more respect towards the game. Don't need player's or coaches disrespecting the game like this.
Players and coached don’t get the same abuse. There should be extreme consequences for such behavior
I always wondered why they call it the foul line/pole. If the ball hits it, it is a fair ball.
Technically, it's a fair/foul line/pole.
Rojas bumps umpire and pushes the other umpire
He needs a multi game suspension and a very hefty fine.
I'm sorry but it was fair so what the hell was Rojas pissed about...
Rojas is just plain stupid.
The Twilight Zone of the Baseball diamond.
CCS has another video "Parallax Angle for a Ball Over the Line" where they explain a ball has to touch part of the foul line to be considered fair, and not just be over the line as was said in this clip. Because a baseball is spherical, only the bottom of the ball touches the line, and it seemed pretty clear that the bottom of the ball did not touch the line here before Walker swatted it further foul.
You're confusing two difference situations. Yes, a batted ball that lands beyond the bag is judged fair or foul based on what that video describes -- it has to touch the foul line to be considered fair.
That's NOT the case on a ball that is first touched by a fielder before it reaches the bag. In fact, 99% of the time, it's touched by the fielder while it is any number of feet above the ground. There's no way we can use the "touching the foul line" criteria in these situations. Otherwise, a line drive caught by the pitcher would be considered a foul ball since it never touched the ground in fair territory. As long as any part of the ball is above the foul line when touched by a fielder, it is a fair ball. The same can be said when a bounded ball bounces over first or third base. It doesn't have to touch the base. When it passes over the base, we just need any part of the ball to be over fair territory for it to be fair.
Looks like a double and 3 RBI's in the book... or a single 1 RBI and 2 run error. Priceless
Scorekeeper's nightmare
"under rated play" .... HILARIOUS!!
Umpire covers his mouth so Jomboy can't read his lips.
It's possible he had a Tuna Sandwich with garlic?! Hey ya never know! -tmac
I think the reason this isn’t reviewable is for placement purposes. If a foul ball in the infield becomes fair on replay, what do you do with the runners? Could the defense have made an out? Do you have to give first base? It’s much more simple on balls in the outfield when it would always be a hit anyway
a foul ball call shouldnt and isnt reviewable, unless its a HR, I believe. However, theres NO reason why a ball called fair can't be reviewed if it can be changed to a foul ball
Walker thought he was going to get the ‘in the vicinity call ’ , like when the SS swipes the bag on a double play .
Not very smart of Walker.
What a call! So much going on, all in vicinity of PU - they did a great job here. With a runner on third, that's an "awful" call to have to make - but they really nailed it.
Tijuan knew that ball rolled back onto the chalk into fair territory, his manager trusted his fake reaction, pitcher's fault for getting everyone worked up
@Mikey Hak So, do you have a point? This was a fair ball when touched.
@Mikey Hak It did not hit his foot.
@Mikey Hak The ball hitting in foul territory behind the plate means nothing. As I said, you don't know fair and foul.
1- Walker error.
2- Third-base coach was out of his zone, so was out. He rune to home then back to third-base. 1:56 watch slowly.
The base coach being out of the zone is only relevant if he impedes the fielders or it'sbefore the pitch (by convention at least, if not rule). Happens all the time and is never called (although this is a particularly impressive example).
How many games for Rojas?
@@PriceRight89 You can't bump the ump like that.
Two is the answer.
The pitcher mess up
Wonder what Rojas has to say when he realizes that the umpire was exactly right, and he was 100% wrong. He probably doesn’t have what it takes to admit that.
I always wonder if a person (player/coach/umpire) goes and watches something they were arguing about, realizes they were wrong, and calls the other guy up to apologize or something.
@@XXelpollodiabloXX Jim Joyce did apologize after making a bad call that took a perfect game away from Armando Gallaraga.
@Mike Heathman Mr. Joyce has also made some of the most mind-numbingly, "WTF?", obviously wrong calls in the last 10 years. The Galarraga fiasco is but one of them. Check out the Astros/Indians game a few years ago when he let two runs score on a pitch fouled to the screen by the 3B dugout. Total and complete umpire incompetence. At best. He's an embarrassment.
@Mike Heathman Your attempts at deifying him speaks volumes about your motives and lack of integrity. Worship away. The rest of us see him for what he is.
@@angc214 he better had
Question: If the catcher started running for the ball and ran into the runner who was in the running lane, would the runner be out for interference or would the runner be expected to run around the catcher which would result in the runner running out of his running lane?
If the umpire deemed the catcher was the fielder entitled to field that ball, the runner may be called for interference in the situation you described. The runner would be legally allowed to avoid the fielder attempting to field a batted ball.
Neither. Only one fielder can be protected when fielding a batted ball, and it's pretty clear it would be the pitcher on this play. So, if the runner ran into the catcher, it would be obstruction on the catcher. (Not that it would matter here, because he reaches home easily anyway.)
Also, a runner is only out for running more than three feet out of his base path if it's to avoid a tag. The catcher didn't have the ball, so he can run wherever he wants here.
@Luke Skyballer Yes, that's true. But it's pretty clear from the video that the catcher was not going after it, probably in case of a throw home. It's clear in this video that the pitcher would have been the protected fielder.
@Mike Heathman You're right, just a poor choice of words, using "lane" instead of "path." I corrected it.
Why is the 3rd base coach that close to home?
Base coach can go wherever he wants in foul territory once the pitch is thrown as long as he’s not interfering with the defense, which he didn’t do, as discussed in the video. He started out of his box but he was way over by the dugout and nobody cares about the coaches box rule anymore.
You want him to stand on 3rd base? What for? Did a heads up job watching the play
This is literally handled in the video, coach's interference only exists if he impacts the play or is attempting to confuse or mislead the fielders, etc. He's doing none of that, so it's not an infraction.
Isn’t a first throw from the infield that goes out of play also two bases from time of pitch?
it didnt go out of play, but thanks for playing. And it wasnt a throw
@@davej3781 Especially since we've seen middle infielders shovel the ball with their glove to the pivot man on a double play
Embarrassing display....2 games wasn't enough imo
I agree, 2 games is a joke.

Third base coaches are getting absolutely out of hand on their position.
Is Luis Rojas related to former Mets coach Cookie Rojas? Cookie bumped Charlie Williams in the 1999 NLDS.

Rojas was suspended how long? 1-2 games max? Give him 2 week vacation then there is an affect.
"A FAIR BALL is a batted ball
that settles *on* fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or
that is *on or over* fair territory when bounding to the outfield past first or third base, or
that touches first, second or third base, or
that first falls *on* fair territory on or beyond first base or third base, or
that, while *on or over* fair territory touches the person of an umpire or player, or
that, while *over* fair territory, passes out of the playing field in flight."
(emphasis added)
"On" = touching fair territory, "over" = above fair territory (even if touching foul territory)
However...
"A FOUL BALL is a batted ball
that settles *on* foul territory between home and first base, or between home and third base, or
that bounds past first or third base *on or over* foul territory, or
that first falls *on* foul territory beyond first or third base, or
that, while *on or over* foul territory, touches the person of an umpire or player, or any object foreign to the natural ground."
(emphasis added)
So if a ball is partly over fair territory, and partly over foul territory, when it bounces past 1st base or 3rd base, or when it is touched, the definitions say that it is both fair and foul. Huh?

He made the right call for sure. The ball hit the chalk. For those of you keeping score, The batter was awarded a base hit and an RBI for getting the first runner home. Then the pitcher, Taijuan Walker was assessed an error (E-1) for allowing the other two runs to score. His official line was a 1/3 IP, 2 H, 4 BB, 5 ER and E-1. The manager, Luis Rojas is going to pay the price for this one. Because of his little meltdown with the umpire, he’s looking at anywhere from 2 to 5 game suspension for this
@@PriceRight89 that’s what I figured that he would get. As far as I know, this is his first offense so two games is appropriate.

Dude that's not even on the line that's a foul ball
It's over the line which makes a fair ball. Learn the rule, dude.
A Red Sox fan, but you won't see this kind of unprofessionalism from that team - they are better managed and coached than this. The Mets are a disgrace here. The ball was clearly FAIR. Walker thought he could get away with brushing it into foul ground, but once the umpire makes the call, you get off your fat butt and go after the ball and continue the play. And I wish that umpire could have decked Rojas, a complete jerk here, out of control and wrong because it was the right call, and I hope he's suspended for a few games. The Curse of '86 lives on. The Mets shouldn't have won that year - and it's been a LONG time since then. They're not winning this year either.
Ball hit the batter. I've seen this 1000 times. it hit his leg protector
Watch both front and side views. When the ball's at the height it looks close from the front it's clearly away from the side. At the height it looks close from the side it's clearly away at the front, it never hits (on ether view alone it looks close,but not both together).
They need to release Edwin Diaz love him and wish him success but he has way to many blown saves to be a closing pitcher.
