“#Mike Trout mocks blown call in Phillies\u2019 win over Braves<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Even three-time AL MVP Mike Trout could not believe the blown replay call in the ninth inning that lifted the Philadelphia Phillies to a 7-6 win Sunday night in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm scored the go-ahead run on a short sacrifice fly by Didi Gregorius in the top of the ninth. He was ruled safe by home-plate umpire Lance Barrett, and the play was upheld by replay review \u2013 despite it being clear that Bohm never touched home plate before he was tagged out by Braves catcher Travis d\u2019Arnaud.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo bad,\u201d Trout tweeted<\/a> with a crying laughing emoji.<\/p>\n

Trout, a south New Jersey native, was replying to another tweet from former major leaguer Will Middlebrooks, who wrote, \u201cHow do you watch that replay and say he\u2019s safe? Hahaha this is a joke.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dodgers infielder Justin Turner also chimed in on Twitter<\/a>, calling the decision \u201cabsolutely brutal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSaw two angles that were clear he never touched the plate and we get a call stands?\u201d Turner wrote. \u201cI\u2019m with everyone else, what\u2019s the point of replay?\u201d<\/p>\n

According to MLB, the replay official \u201ccould not definitively determine that the runner failed to touch home plate prior to the fielder app<\/a>lying the tag.\u201d The Braves were incensed by the ruling.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn real time, it\u2019s bang-bang,\u201d Atlanta starter Drew Smyly said. \u201cBut we have five different angles on a national televised game<\/a>, and it\u2019s clear that his foot didn\u2019t touch the plate. That it was on the chalk. For MLB not to overturn that, it\u2019s embarrassing. Why even have replay if you won\u2019t overturn that?\u201d<\/p>\n

Added d\u2019Arnaud: \u201cInitially, I didn\u2019t know if he was safe or out, but after watching the replay, it looked like his foot didn\u2019t touch the bag, from any angle we saw. I thought he was clearly out at the plate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bohm doubled to lead off the inning and was on third with one out when Gregorius lifted a shallow fly to left. Marcell Ozuna\u2019s throw was slightly up the third-base line, but d\u2019Arnaud snared it and shifted to his right to block Bohm\u2019s left foot from crossing the plate.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was called safe, that\u2019s all that matters,\u201d Bohm said afterward.<\/p>\n

Phillies manager Joe Girardi said he believed Bohm scored \u201cby the skin of his big toe,\u201d but the Braves obviously didn\u2019t agree.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes me not even want [replay] anymore,\u201d d\u2019Arnaud said. \u201cIt just slows the game down. To me, they got it wrong. I\u2019d just rather not have it and get the game going.\u201d<\/p>\n

The small crowd at Truist Park threw trash onto the field following the lost challenge, which didn\u2019t sit well with the Braves, either.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love our city. I love our fans. They\u2019re passionate. They care. But what happened after they announced that call is the most embarrassing part of the whole night,\u201d shortstop Dansby Swanson said. \u201cThe throwing of things on the field, it\u2019s disrespectful to the people who put in so much work to have the field ready for us every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an embarrassing representation of our city. The worst part of it is, I don\u2019t think people realize we have families here. There are kids that are sitting in the front row and you have bottles whizzing by their heads. Endangering kids that may not be able to protect themselves is downright embarrassing and shouldn\u2019t happen again.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
