I agree with what Luke said. If anything, this is a case against instant replay.

You can see in this grab that the ball is below the glove. The leather is all behind the ball. It then bounces off the ground and up into the glove.

If its an upside down snow cone catch, couldn't the momentum of the ball have forced the glove down and resulted in the same picture? To me it appears he's got a hold of it.

If you watch the video slowly, you can see that the glove only kicks back from contact with the ball after the ball has bounced and is travelling upward. In that frame, the ball hasn't hit the glove yet.

I think it's a catch. I'm looking at that pic and it looks to me like the glove is under the ball. I'll tell you this much - it was close enough where nobody had any business overturning the call. That was a huge mistake the umps.



+++ I agree whole-heartedly

They should've muted her and had Vin did a voice over of her newscast.
