Sigh, and the sad part about this is that this game won't be remembered as Chipper's last game, it'll be known as the "Outfield Fly Rule Game"
Seriously, I live in Atlanta(didn't go to the game though) and was pissed off I had to wait 20 minutes for the game to continue. First of all, the call was wrong, lets get that. It was called WAY to late, so it shouldn't have been called an Infield Fly. Its Based Loaded w/ 1 out. However, the ump made the call, and idk why the fans were so mad. They were still down 6-3, and a double play, 2 consecutive strikeouts, ANYTHING, could have ended that inning without anyone scoring. THIS CALL DID NOT COST THE ATLANTA BRAVES THIS GAME! What they needed to do was catch the damn ball. 3 errors by the games best defense, with only TWO of the runs being earned (Should be one, the Holiday homer, but w/e). If they catch the ball and not throw it away, they win 3-1, and they wouldn't have to deal with this call and the controversy that follows. The Braves made themselves lose, and now they're using that call as a scapegoat for their horrible play. Maybe, if they didn't leave 12 Runners on Base, they would have won. Maybe, if they didn't go 1-9 with RISP, they would have won. Maybe, if they executed, they would have won. But nope, now we'll hear about this for DAYS.
However, at least Chipper got a hit in last AB, nice way for him to go out. Wish the Cardinals had at least given him some respect before running off the field like they did, but I do understand considering the dumbasses at Turner Field.
Good Luck to the Cardinals, they played better and in the end they won this game.
