you can prove it...look at the clips over and over again and look at the pictures...the catchers glove was covering the ball that was in the dirt. but proving that the ball hit the ground or not doesnt matter anyways. what matters is the umps call and the ump did not call him out. its the umps mistake and the batter made the right desion by running..because obviously he didnt hear the ump call him out. he just said strike 3. whether the ball hit the ground or not on strike 3 you HAVE TO call strike 3...no matter what.

No, you can't prove anything. It's a completely subjective matter.

And he did call strike three, he didn't call the out.

Like I said before, whether or not they made the right call, the umps screwed up. The home plate ump couldn't see whether the ball hit the ground or not. It was his responsibility to a) call the batter out after calling no contact and strike 3, or b) have the other ump (who wasn't even watching) signal whether or not the ball hit the ground.

But neither of those things happened. It's kind of a moot point, because from now on there won't be a single catcher that forgets to tag the batter after strike 3.

I never said he didnt call strike 3. he DID call strike 3...but he DID NOT call him out. Your right that the ump couldnt see weather the ball hit the ground...so all in all it is the umps fault...but still the batter made the right desion of running.
