Hoskins Game Tying Homer gets Called Back After Replay, a breakdown

and it is rhys hoskins he's got a chance

to be a hero

and he's got a chance to clear his

conscience because earlier in the game

this little lollipop lazy throw

the mets took advantage and scored the

tying run

and he's been thinking about that ever

since because it led to a

huge inning and he wants to make up for

it

first pitch way outside second pitch he

swings through and he's like oh

not that not that 1-1 he takes high

great take

2-1 and we are going to have fun

bam hot shot to right field it's going

over

underwear uh and it's really interesting

to note in this shot

that all the phillies fans and all the

phillies players

are cheering like it's a home run but

alonso and mcneil

are playing the field calling for the

ball running to

for the cut-off because they don't think

it's a home run

and reece is just running around

celebrating while the mets

are like no that ball's in play so diaz

the pitcher is confused as hell has no

idea what to do

and when reece got to second base he

stopped just in case it's a double

or it didn't go out he doesn't want to

be out on the base path so he stops at

second

and he asked the um what do you got and

then i'm saying no it's a home run rhys

your emotions just swung 180. you're the

hero

so he rounds third the entire stadium is

going

crazy what a moment two outs

oh no they're reviewing it two

outs bottom of the ninth game tying

three run homer

but it's going to review and here you go

there's the ball

just comes into view ready top of the

screen coming into view comes down and

it hits

the railing flush this is kind of hard

because the ball's as bright as the

numbers on the seats but right on the

railing here it is i just made it like a

little black and white

there's the ball you can see it railing

man so the it has to clear that railing

this railing see it's a wall down here

and then there's a netting

on top well that is just the extension

of the wall

so it needs to clear the railing and you

can see when it comes down in those

three shots that

if it was to hit one of these seats

you'd see it jiggle you'd see it bounce

but the seats stay incredibly still and

it just goes

right up against swelling like as much

of a non-home run you could possibly hit

that's as far as you can hit the ball

without it counting as a home run to

that area of the ballpark

just like baseball gods messing around

look at this so now they got to figure

out well where do we put them

if it's not a home run what happens well

here's i synced up two different replays

so you could see what would have

happened you know conforto's got a bead

on it he jumps up

he comes down now the live shot goes

back to the field

and this replay stayed with the

outfielder so you can see reese's

rounding second there

right as the right fielder picks up the

ball so i think it's pretty easy to say

all right well he goes to second base

they had the other two runs score you

can see resa they said it was a home run

though

i don't know what's going on that's a

bummer for him and they say nope you go

to second

[ __ ] you [ __ ] you

he's mad you want to be the hero i would

too

i would too now he's got to go to second

base and they actually like make him

walk all the way out there and then he

just gets pinched run for so then he's

back and then the

mets win and the phillies lose and rhys

hoskins just got put through the

absolute biggest roller coaster of

emotions

you can have in a two-hour span oh man

this one's brought to you by talking
