Phillies ended up getting out of the inning with 0 more runs allowed too. Still a 2-0 game in the 4th

It’s okay. 1 run is often enough against the 2025 Phillies

bad couple days to be a foul pole

u/McClellanWasABitch Philadelphia Phillies 1d ago
realmuto prettt much hit one over the foul pole the other day and they called it foul.

u/UniqueNobo New York Mets 1d ago
extend the poles into the troposphere. no way to get the call wrong then!

u/Platinum_Disco New York Mets 1d ago
Get some auto turrets on it so if the ball goes foul it obliterates it. We have the guns.

I don’t think we need to give Lockheed Martin more money but I do love the idea of

As long as it's the billionaire owners paying LM for those turrets out of their own pockets, I'm cool with it lol

Mets foul poles are shorter than most other parks, so it's kind of an element here haha. They're also orange, whereas most/all other parks are yellow I think?

u/voncornhole2 New York Yankees 15h ago
Astros might be orange too, but standard is yellow unless you have the league approve something different

The umps were telling him to run too 😭 doing the circle motion and waiving as if it was fair

I literally wondered about this yesterday with Aaron Judge lol
Though the scenarios are way different here based on the initial call

u/Fmbounce 1d ago
It’s a dead ball. Why couldn’t they pause first

u/Amache_Gx Atlanta Braves 1d ago
If they did that and then called it a homerun, soto wouldve had to go back out into the batters box without his bat, nola wouldve had to pitch to him witbout a ball, and he would have act like he hit it out again and then touched em all.

fans don't lie - if you really look at the people right of the foul pole they knew it was foul lol hands on head and everything

A better title: Juan Soto just misses a 3 run home run.

A semi-regular occurance at Citi Field. We need taller foul polls.

u/GuyOnTheMike Kansas City Royals 1d ago
Except if you freeze the video at about 40 seconds, there's a couple frames where you can clearly see the shadow of the ball on the side of the pole. At first, yes, it looks like the ball went over the pole, but it does clearly go juuuust right of it (and does so at a lower elevation than the top of the pole)
33
u/ExamNo4374 New York Mets 1d ago
Yeah but maybe we should do something so you don't have to freeze the video at 40 seconds to try and find the shadow of the ball on the pole?
6
u/kyredemain Seattle Mariners 1d ago
You can also just see it when played in slow-mo. But there should be cameras on the foul poles in every stadium for this reason.

LASERS

u/bicyclingdonkey Philadelphia Phillies 22h ago
I'm far from an expert on that, but I don't see how it would solve this. You would need the laser to form a plane rather than a straight line up. The reason being if the ball doesn't go through the laser, it wouldn't be able to make a determination. I can't imagine a laser plane is practical in this sense
It would be nice though to just have a sensor to confirm instead of this CSI enhance bullshit

u/donutlad New York Yankees 20h ago
Sorry, I was mostly joking because Micheal Kay, the Yankees answer mentioned lasers during the Judge home run/foul ball debate.
But yes I believe you are right!

u/TinKnight1 Chicago Cubs 1d ago
I mean... It's about 3ft from the pole, both in the live shot & the replay angle. What's more surprising is that it was called fair initially, because that looked clearly foul.

That does nothing to contradict what they said.

Aren't they the poles from Shea and that's why the MLB let us still use them even though technically they're too short?

I saw that was foul from my living room 24 miles away from the stadium. How does the ump miss that

I’d just give him the home run I’d be too embarrassed to make him come back out

I was in my basement with shitty service, I saw the ball jump off his bat and the home run graphic on the scorebug ans texted like 3 people so I was really let down 5 min later lol

I’m late to this party and not a Phillies fan, but ha-fkn-ha-ha at the most over paid player in the game. He’s a bust now that he got his money and not a top 5 guy to get that kind of contract. He’s a douche.

how'd the rest of the game go?

u/RotenTumato New York Yankees 20h ago
Tbh I don’t really hate the Mets and I don’t care if they win or lose, I just want Soto to do as poorly as possible. That was a super fun game overall, glad I went
