Bobbled is not dropped.
Out.
Putting on my camo gear….
The ball not only hits the fence once, it hits it twice.
Nice try. But no. It touched the wall.
It’s a hit. A caroom off the fence is no different than bouncing off the ground. Otherwise, the big green wall at Fenway would be a big source of outs.
Ball in play, it hit the fence.
Logic and common sense would rule it as an out, but these days who knows.
In today’s world the primary determining factor is the political persuasion of the batter and fielder. Conservative – always at fault or in error. Libtard – always correct.
Bobbled yes, but bobbled with the assistance of the fence (or the ground) is a playable ball.
How does the ball identify itself?
The ball touches the players glove first before it hits the wall. Out.
Easy call. The ball hit the wall so it’s in play. NOT an out. However, since the ball is white it needs to be marginalized and diminished so an OUT call is justified in order to promote equity.
well, my finger on the pause button isn’t the best source in the world for stop-action slo-mo, & I can’t tell if the ball caroomed off the back of the fielders glove or if it touched the wall
sooooo …… unless I see another, slower angle ….
OUT
Hit the glove first then bounced out, so its the equivalent of a dropped ball. Even if he got it before it the ground due to the help of the wall (see the Fenway comment above).
To me with my cheap phone it looks like he gloves it, it drops out on his shoulder, then as it bounces out it hits his glove ON the fence when he reaches out to brace, so it comes back off his glove.
But I don’t have slow motion, lots of pixels, or a different angle so maybe not…
Why is he trying to steal that ball from the poor immigrant child running toward the fence? Poor kid is just trying to make a better life for himself.
From my angle the ball never touched the fence.
If the ball hit the fielder in the head & bounced straight up while the fielder retrieved his hat, & the ball lands in his hat … is it an out?
Hitting the glove first is meaningless. If it contacts the wall, it is in play. It hit the wall 2 times.
I frankly don’t know the answer. But I am intrigued by the arbitrary logic behind rules involving “the wall” in the sport. Hehe. 🙂 (Kill me now.)
You might know the rules of baseball, but we knew the rules of streetball as kids. That’s an out, doesn’t matter what the hell it touched. Bring your stupid pansy baseball rules on our streets you’ll be leaving with a bloody nose. lol.
LOL. Understood… Out of the tree is an out, too. -bfh
Depends on the race of the hitter…
IT’S AN OUT – NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT!
OK, now you got me wondering if the ball ever touches the wall at all.
Ummm, upon further investigation of the rules, I spoke too soon. Where’s the edit feature when you need it? I sheepishly, with tail between my legs, retract my previous comment.
No butts about it.
first. the player did not catch the ball. he never controlled it.
second. the ball hit the wall twice before the player finally controlled the ball.
playable ball.

A humorous way of saying, “you f*cked up stirrin”. Thanks for going easy on me Fur. 😉
I have no clue what any of you are talking about…

Out
The ball hit the wall, no question. It’s in play
The circus is a distraction. Pay no attention.
I sucked at any sport that required me to hit something with a stick-like extension of my arm. So I never followed any of these sports too closely
All I know is that my city’s franchise, in only its fourth season, ended the greatest dynasty of the past fifty years .. by some damb team from the Eastern Seaboard. And then spent the next 20 years sucking and boring everybody to death. How strange is that?
And even though I dont know much about baseball, Im pretty sure Luis Gonzales, the guy who got the Series Winning single in Game 7, was on steroids.
I coached little league for a number of years and had a hard enough time keeping the kids on the bench and in correct batting order. I never had time to worry about things like this.
My daughter insisted in playing baseball with the boys instead of softball with the girls.
While walking to the field for one game two boys made fun of my daughter for being on a boys team. It happened they were on the opposing team that day.
My daughter played first base. One of those two boys had hit a single and was on first. The other boy was at bat. He hit a pop fly to my daughter and she caught it and then tagged first base to get the first boy out too.
The look on my daughter’s face was priceless. She smiled as she looked at both boys as they walked off the field with a snarky expression – “eat shit a-holes!”. Karma at it’s best!
