E58-9 - Bruce Bochy & Andrew Heaney Tossed After Erich Bacchus Overrules Laz Diaz's Foul Tip Call

Bruce bochi his team fighting it right now they have dropped 11 of their last 13 but they also managed to lose this game anyway onto the seventh base hit into right center field 32 there's Ball Four here we go Boi doesn't look too happy Bruce Bo is going to be very patient here here's the 3-2 it's low Ball Four he did not go oh it's a foul tip into the glove of Jaheim and that's a strike out but wait a second the batter points to Third Base because third base umpire Eric Baka says it's a foul ball foul ball I think it hit the ground we see the consequence here if it's a foul tip it's strike three if it's a foul ball it's a foul ball batter comes back to bat with a three ball count as Diaz checks with Bas what we're looking for is two points of contact or three points of contact with a foul tip you have two points because it is bat to M directly but if it's a foul ball you have three it is bat to dirt to meit three now as a plate onire you're listening for sound and as was listening for sound he heard two and that's a foul tip so that's why he called strike three foul tip obviously a base umpire 90 ft away isn't going to hear anything but they will see a perfect angle you would think to see whether that ball hit the dirt or did not hit the dirt effectively that's what we're looking for and from 90 ft away Backus thought it hit the dirt my eyes aren't that good but his apparently are all right Bruce POI heading down to Third Base heads directly to third BAS B he knows who calls this L is like could you please not argue Bo like I would prefer to and La says in that case you can enjoy your tea time in the clubhouse today's been thrown out Boi offers his glasses because back has said he saw it hit the dirt and it clearly didn't hit the dirt one of the problems here is this is not reviewable look at the review card and indeed foul ball foul tip those are not reviewable plays back in 2017 we said let's fix replay One Way review more things this is more things but it's not reviewable so this kind of happens sometimes Diaz made that call emphatically on his own which is true the plate ire is primary but any base umpire can call foul ball if they see definitively that that ball is foul backas thought he did it clearly wasn't saying like what one of the was going on here backas sasses Phil walks away so to does Boi and oh yeah Andrew heene somehow got ejected from the bench during this too
