Washington – If the Mets could a positive Saturday of the loss call, one night before he could have played an important role in the result of the game, it is the idea that MLB will eliminate the shackles in the snapshot repetition.
For the manager Carlos Mendoza, it was obvious from the bench that Jesse Winker’s shot at the first base in the fourth entrance hit the ground.
But the first -base referee, Alfonso Márquez, ruled that the ball was caught by Nathaniel Lowe, starting a triple game that literally took the Mets from the entrance.
Before the 2-0 victory of the METS over the nationals on Saturday, Mendoza, whose Mets lost 5-4 at night before, had spoken with MLB about the call.
But his expectation was that he would have a conversation at some point with Michael Hill, senior vice president of operations in the field of the League.
The work was not reviewable by repetition because the ball never left the painting.
“With a play that has so much impact on a game, you are talking about a triple game; it is the first and the second without anyone, there must be a child or a consultation to eliminate the human element,” said Mendoza. “Hopefully situations like this help advance for better decision making.”
Among Mendoza’s complaints to the referees, since he argued that the call was Márquez’s positioning behind the work that did not provide an optimal vision when trying to determine if the ball hit the ground. Mendoza wanted the referees to meet in the field and discuss the call, but that never happened.
Brandon Nimmo, the main corridor in the second base of the play, said he saw a “little jump” in Winker’s shot at the first base and that led him to start running.
Mark winds was running from the first base behind him. Both were discarded by Lowe’s shot to CJ Abrams in the second base.
“I wish it could be reviewed,” said Nimmo. “I wish all catches could be reviewed. I understand that it is in the field box, but that game is happening in front of the referee of the first base, where it really is not not that it is not, it is not that it is not no, it is not that it is not that I cannot do not do it.
“They really have repetition tasks and minimized the time it takes, so I don’t think I add so much time to the game if you just say:” Hey, let’s see that very fast. ”
Winds blamed in part to his role, but also acknowledged the obvious: Winker’s ball hit the ground.
“I was wrong in that play, I should have frozen and return to the first base,” winds said. “You see the video, it came to Earth, but … that was an advanced evil for me.”
Winds said he did not reached his decision to run on the basis that Nimmo broke out for third place.
“It was simply going to be the ball that comes very fast,” winds said. “My first reaction was to reach the second base.”
Mendoza can only expect Friday’s loss calling to lead to changes regarding instant repetition rules.
“After experience [Friday] Night, going through that and knowing how the game affects. There must be a conversation, “said Mendoza.
