In a recent game between the Mets and the Dodgers, umpires missed calling a foul ball that hit catcher Dalton Rushing, allowing the Dodgers to score. The Mets, believing the ball was dead, could not challenge the call and later lost against the Dodgers despite strong play. Additionally, the Mets faced confusion over another call related to sacrificing plays. Former MLB umpire Brian Gorman clarified key rules during this confusing incident, highlighting that the nuances of juggling a ball affect base running rules.
It appears that even the Mets thought the ball was initially called dead, much to their surprise when it resulted in a Dodger's run.
Former MLB umpire Brian Gorman clarified, 'The reason behind the touch, as opposed to when he eventually catches the ball, is that an outfielder can actually juggle the ball.'
