Here is the relevant rule: -- CPRVHokie 10/18/2018 10:16AM
HR. The ball was clearly over the fence and the fans didn't reach out -- MCL3 Hokie 10/18/2018 09:37AM
The problem is there's no "clearly" -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 10:41AM
Look at where the fans have their arms. Right next to their bodies. -- MCL3 Hokie 10/18/2018 12:37PM
They're also standing up, pressed right up against the wall -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 12:55PM
Not sure what baseball rules say but justice = OUT ** -- BG Hokie 10/18/2018 09:26AM
Rule says if it’s over the fence, no interference. -- CPRVHokie 10/18/2018 10:10AM
I'd guess the fan was over the imaginary line, not definitive though. ** -- BG Hokie 10/18/2018 10:15AM
Just watched it again with the rule in mind. OUT, fan seemed clearly -- BG Hokie 10/18/2018 10:17AM
Anyone who sees anything "clearly" in these replays has an agenda or POV -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 10:42AM
Sometimes that's true. But Danny Coale clearly caught that ball. ** -- Hokie360 10/18/2018 10:51AM
Emphasis on the word "these" replays ** -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 11:03AM
You certainly nailed the agenda! ** -- BG Hokie 10/18/2018 10:51AM
Out -- VT Pops 10/18/2018 08:47AM
See 48zip’s link below. It hits a fan. ** -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 08:57AM
The only question that matters: Whose hand breaks the plane of the wall? -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 08:45AM
How was it ruled originally? Shouldn't have been changed no matter what. ** -- reestuart 10/18/2018 11:30AM
Ruled an out originally, kept an out ** -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 11:31AM
That sounds like the right call. I could see it either way. The fans are -- reestuart 10/18/2018 11:48AM
I'm no guru and didn't see the game, but I can see why it was ruled an out. -- MP4VT2004 10/18/2018 08:25AM
To me it looked like Betts went beyond the field of play to make the catch -- TheNuke 10/18/2018 08:29AM
There isn’t an umpire in the world who could have gotten in position** -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 08:47AM
They need a foul pole camera that shows down the fence line. Then 1 or two -- hoosnowahokie 10/18/2018 09:30AM
That's unpossible. Very few MLB stadium have straight-line outfield walls -- Nova Hokie 95 10/18/2018 10:37AM
Down the fence line would be better than a camera well angle. -- hoosnowahokie 10/18/2018 10:41AM
They have a foul pole camera. Security was leaning over the fence -- CPRVHokie 10/18/2018 10:17AM
A better view from Sportscenter twitter -- 48zip 10/18/2018 08:23AM
Out. -- J-Dub 10/18/2018 08:04AM
But what's the rule? ** -- ModerateHokie 10/18/2018 09:29AM
Part of Rule 2 -- 48zip 10/18/2018 10:44AM
Does that matter if it's out of the field of play? ** -- reestuart 10/18/2018 09:16AM
Yes. Fan has to reach into field of play for interference ** -- CPRVHokie 10/18/2018 10:12AM
That's what I thought. It's not all that clear in the replay. First time -- reestuart 10/18/2018 11:24AM
Now I am seeing the detail you said -- VaTechie 10/18/2018 08:16AM
