Blown call allows Dominican Republic to tie the game, a breakdown

republic has a league venezuela has a

league so it's not the all-stars from

that country it's the winning team from

those leagues go to a series and play

against each other so this is the pool

play around venezuela versus dominican

republic the one seed in the two seed

and there's not a lot of meaning tied to

this game but there's a lot of pride on

the line the rankings aren't gonna get

messed up and we have a big

double in the eighth inning down one dr

and he says shh

don't tell nobody

just don't tell nobody just let me oh

yeah

oh yeah

let me do the talking and then they take

him out and then take him out and

they're like hey we're gonna put in a

faster runner for you but he's excited

he's excited he throws his helmet and he

catches it he's like i don't know why i

threw it that's something i do when i'm

angry then they bunt the runner over to

third and here's where the controversy

starts because they call safe third

baseman's like hey replay replay review

review review now i watch this game

but the broadcast is only in spanish and

i don't speak spanish that's on me so

i'm not positive

what goes on here but you can see him

say he slid into my leg he pointed at

the catcher saying come on challenge it

review it review it review it i don't

know the lee i don't know the rules of

this

series if

every play in the athenian gets reviewed

if you have a certain amount of time if

you've got to call it but

the foot

blocks the foot

from touching the base and you can see

he never

touches the base

and the gloves there now it's a tough

call for the umpire

maybe

i mean because he might not have a great

angle down on this gap

but the guy never touches the base and

they should have reviewed it and seen

this and called him out i had a lot of

people on twitter saying it's

interference but as long as he has the

ball and his glove he can block the base

you could catch the ball and a guy's

stealing and and just stand right in

front of him and not let him around you

as long as you have the ball it's not

interference so once you've got the ball

in his glove that's fine unless there's

different rules than mlb but that's fine

this happened with josh donaldson once a

while back where he blocked it with his

knee so they got this call wrong and i

don't know why i don't speak spanish so

i'll rely on people in the comments

below that do to let me know what

happened here some people had commented

via google translate i read that they

ran out of time to review it so they

couldn't and then people responded that

and said no but it's the eighth inning

everything's reviewable some people said

it did get reviewed but didn't get

overturned because they said

interference which

i don't know if that's correct it

doesn't seem like that's the correct

call so i really don't know what

happened but i know they argued for a

while because it's the tying run now on

third base in the bottom of the eighth

inning and our dude ostadio la tortuga

he's talking to the ump trying to figure

it out and the coach is going to come

over and try to enjoy he's like it's

fine it's fine it's fine fine fine it's

fine we're just talking over here i'm

cool i'm cool about it ump is big he's

short but i don't

kind of big but you can see he's

perplexed because he's gets an

exclamation here that he doesn't really

fight

but he kind of turns around and he's

like well what

what the hell then why don't we just get

the calls right if we can get the calls

right it's got to be his feeling takes

the hat off

you know universal sign for frustration

the next batter is going to ground out

to

austidio who has to race back and get

him and the um says yes yes yes yes bam

out yes he did

great call by the ump love the

enthusiasm doesn't go to the bad goes to

the tag

uh worked out either way but then the

next batter comes up puts one into the

outfield and now that runner who's on

third who was out he tags up and scores

the tying run for the dominican republic

pinched runner got thrown out now he

scores the tying run they intentionally

walk robinson cano to get to marcel

ozuna and ozuna flies out and that ends

the inning in the eighth which brings us

to the tenth inning now and they got

bases loaded and the dr going to take

full advantage of that replay and

they're in another sac fly which scores

the winning run sac fly to tie it sac

fly to win it they are the one seed

venezuela is the two seed the games are

actually being played today the

semifinals and then on thursday is the

championship so it's on espn plus if you

want to watch it if you're itching for

some baseball it's quality baseball

quality broadcast and some drama
