"So clear?"

San Diego Padres manager Mike Shildt left the game against the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park in San Diego, California on the 19th (Korea time) in the bottom of the second inning in protest of the decision.

San Diego was dragged away when he gave up four runs in the top of the first inning.




In the bottom of the second inning, leadoff hitter Xander Bogaerts hit a 91.9-mile (147.9-kilometer) four-seam fastball by San Francisco starter Robbie Ray. The ball extended to the left.

San Francisco left fielder Eliot Ramos tried to catch the ball by jumping, but was hit by a glove and eventually crossed the fence. The home run signal came out.

A video review request came from San Francisco. As a result, the original trial was reversed. The moment he tried to catch the ball, the crowd reached out.




According to MLB Regulation 6.01(e), it is stated that if the spectator reaches toward the field of the stadium and clearly prevents the defender from catching the ball, he should be out due to spectator interference.

As a result of the reading, all the questions 'Did one of the spectators touch the ball or do something that interferes with the defense?' and 'Did they reach for the field?' were decided 'Yes', and the home run was nullified.

Coach Silt protested the decision and was eventually sent off.




According to the MLB.COM rule, it does not matter if the fan and the ball are in contact. Regardless of whether the ball is in contact or not, if the obstructive action is taken, it is out.

Ramos said "I would have caught it if the fans hadn't been involved " It was easier to catch than I thought, but the spectator's arm was on top of me. His whole body came over the fence" he insisted.

San Francisco coach Bob Melvin also looked like his arm was crossed. Fans might have 'slightly touched' If your hand is crossed, it can also affect your vision. This judgment is not uncommon, but I think it was right."

On the other hand, Silt expressed his frustration. Director Silt said "If it's so clear, shouldn't we overturn it early?" If it's not clear, it should be a home run." The video review was reported to have taken about 2 minutes and 40 seconds on this day.

Ramos had to be booed by the crowd throughout the game

On the other hand, San Diego is disappointed with one decision left. He scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning and narrowed the gap to one point. There is no, but if Bogaerts' home run was recognized, the result is unknown.

Bogaerts also expressed regret. He "I really didn't like it. But I know there's nothing in life that I can control."
