September 24, 200817 yr No crease, I'm not sure how replay work in MLB, but I don't think there was irrefutable evidence either way,... EXCEPT that like they said, their was no crease in the yellow. Which leads me to believe it didn't hit the yellow. I dunno about the yellow but i did see a crease in the padding.
September 24, 200817 yr From the replays that I seen the seats don't even move, and if the ball would have in fact hit the seats then the sit would have shook in some way. It wasn't an earthquake...:lol: Why would a solid, hard plastic seat move when a baseball hits it?
September 24, 200817 yr The seat didn't move? Is that seriously your argument? The ball hit the top of the wall, went behind the wall hit a seat, and changed directions. Heck seats don't even move when I sit in them. :lol: Did you watch the guys reaction in the stands? That right there was another convincing piece of evidence for me. What do you think made the ball change directions? The fans were standing in the front row, if the ball were to hit the padding or even come close there would be fans to back up, maybe he couldn't judge the ball and backed up in case. I'm just saying there was no definitive evidence, besides a supposed fans reaction that the ball hit the seats.
September 24, 200817 yr It wasn't an earthquake...:lol: Why would a solid, hard plastic seat move when a baseball hits it? I'm talking about the sit down part, the folding part. Well maybe their seats don't fold down...So I retract any argument regarding seats.
September 24, 200817 yr It wasn't an earthquake...:lol: Why would a solid, hard plastic seat move when a baseball hits it? Clearly these seats need some sort of seismic detection equipment on them. And they shouldn't sell chili dogs within atleast four rows of that area.

I'm just saying there was no definitive evidence, besides a supposed fans reaction that the ball hit the seats. I'm talking about the fat guy that was about 4 rows back. He didn't start moving until the ball hit off the padding and went behind the wall. That's when he start going back, but the ball then hit the seat, and bounced back into play. You still haven't answered as to what you think made the ball change directions all of a sudden?

September 24, 200817 yr Author I've got to wait for another replay of it...I've already forgotten the replay. I don't have time for that, I have to go to bed. When a fan that sat in the outfield seats tonight tells a the local newspaper that the ball definitely hit a seat I'll eagerly await for you to admit you were wrong.
September 24, 200817 yr Author Did he have a chili dog in one of his hands?:creepy: Are you kidding me? From the looks of that guy he would have inhaled the chili dog by the time he got back to his seat. :lol:
September 24, 200817 yr I thought it hit the seat but saw it hit the yellow on the wall. I thought that was a HR too?

You can't trust fans, remember Baltimore vs. Yankees???? Fans can not be trusted...I'm sure we'll see a closer look...And when we do I can't wait for you to admit your wrong!!! Victory is mine!
September 24, 200817 yr I think it's rediculous that the feed has to be sent to MLB for review, first they complain about the length of games, then they ship of video to NYC for a play that happened in Houston. The initial replay looked to have hit the padding, but I don't see how the ball could bounce that far if it his a soft object.
September 24, 200817 yr We thought it hit the seats. I didn't see any creasing, even in slow-mo. If it hit the padding, I don't understand the change in direction? I also agree that the ruling took a long time. I particularly enjoyed the cowering fans who also happened to be wearing gloves. Why bother dragging it all the way there?
