Fans are throwing stuff on the field! The fans have thrown a lot of garbage on the field. Just a pathetic call by the umpires and now the fans are affecting the play in the game. This could result in a forfiet of the game if calm is not restored!
It should be bases loaded and one out but the ump called the infield fly out AFTER the ball hit the ground. That defeats the purpose of the rule itself.

And now Atlanta fans take the heat off of the players by embarrassing themselves more than the players have. Lovely.
Am I the only one that thinks that Fredi should not have left that field until he got ejected?
Not a chance in hell Bobby doesn’t get kicked out of thet game in that spot.

There is no way that ball could be caught by an infielder with “ordinary effort.” Total incompetence by the umpires.

Serious questions — requesting explanation….
If they don’t get the fans to stop, what can be done to the team? Can they be forced to forfeit the game?
Can the officiating crew alter the call if they stand out there and talk among themselves?
