@@jgfunk no I’m actually a Red Sox fan and what I was saying is that if Arod just accepted that he was going to be tagged out then he would have been tagged out at first and Jeter would have been in scoring position. But I just thought it was funny that Arod interfered with the pitcher causing Jeter to go back to first instead of being in scoring position
Learn the rules before commenting. That said, that was the correct mechanic whether or not he over-ran the base. He would be called out on appeal if the umpire saw that he missed the bag.
@@jonathanbaird8109As a Yankee fan, Arod did a lot of stupid stuff. The Jays in Toronto he yelled on a pop up when he was running in baseline and they missed a pop up. The Luis Castillo failed pop up on Arod swing in 9th inning vs Mets just to win the game. Walk off Pop up. Arod had a lot of stupid and crazy moments as a a Yankee and a player. Plus the fight with Varitek in 2004 too. This on Arroyo in Game 6 ALCS.
I feel like this series was the complete opposite of BOS vs. NYY in 1999. In that series, almost every single call went against Boston, including horribly bad calls like the phantom tag. In this series, they got almost every call right and that was before instant replay. I remember being shocked that they were overturning calls in NY in game 6, that went in Boston’s favor.
Honestly I love this because it just makes the story so much better. One of those sports stories where there's clearly our heroes the Red Sox and the villains, Arod and the yankees. The Yankees are like the evil team from every baseball movie that the good guys have to play at the end lmao
@@xavierramos1270 Except no. That is not the rule. Believe it or not, the MLB playoff umpire's know the rule more than you. Once ARod cheated, it was as if the play didn't happen. So all runners were returned to the base that they were on when the play started. NOT where the umpire thinks he would have been if the runner was just thrown out anyway. So no...that was not what the Yankees were arguing.
@@alanhess9306 Randy Marsh signaled the overturn of call, but even if the "out" call was decided by Joe West, that's what "In SPITE of Joe West's presence" means.
What happens when an umpire makes a call against the Yankees at home? A. Throw anything to make it better B. Boo about it C. Do nothing and be polite fans
Keep in mind, this was before instant reply, so all the umps had to base their ultimate decision on was what they saw, or thought they saw in real time. What a great job by umpires conversing and figuring this one out. I honestly like Rodriguez, but this was such a low-IQ, and more importantly, unscrupulous play to try to sell.
It's A-Rod, he's literally engaged to Jlo who obviously sleeps with NBA players behind his back. Ofc that's why he's with Jlo, cheaters stick together.
Jonathan...no, they didn't have cameras. Where do you think they watched a monitor? (Also...it would have been against the rules to use replay at this point.) It was simply that one of the other 5 umpires (playoff game, so 6 umpires) had an unblocked view. Since it was so obvious, probably all 5 other umpires saw it clear as day. Chances are, at least two of them were clear that it was intentional or else they wouldn't have overturned it.
In the playoffs you have an ump down the line on each side of the outfield. Rightfield ump probably saw it. He had a better angle than the first base ump. 2B ump may also have seen it.
@@KnickKnack07I mean the umpires could probably see the jumbotron, but they're technically not supposed to use it to make the call. But there was six umpires because it was the playoffs. so I think the one in right field probably saw it
Had to watch this again after yankees fans interfered with Mookie Betts in the WS. An organization and a fanbase that's incapable of losing with class 🤡
Just before they cut away to show Jeter rounding third, you can see A-Rod heading back towards the bag to touch it before heading to second. We never get to see whether he touches it, but he's definitely moving in the direction of first base rather than second, so I think it's fair to assume he touched first base. Still out, though.
Pretty sure he just told the ump what he saw-and the umpires immediately got together. First base ump didn't see it-his line of sight was blocked by the first baseman.
Francona went over there much more calmly than usual cuz he knew there was a serious issue not just a blown call. Plus with the way every player on the Sox reacted the umpires probably had an open mind that something must've happened
Tito almost never lost it at the ump. So when he came out of the dugout with that kind of urgency the umps realized that this isn't like him. Sometimes being the quiet guy pays off in big moments. Terry "Tito" Francona is the epitome of a quiet, wellspoken, polite manager. Boston fans called him "Francoma" at time for how reluctant he was to get ouut of the dugout and go defend his players. If this ruling gets Tito of all people hot under his hat we might need to look at this again. Wish he was still on the Red Sox. Terry Francona was one of the good guys and always will be.
I had to travel to New York the next day from Rhode Island (same day as Game 7) and the New York sports media was ripping A-Rod a new one over this play.
A-Rod actually clapped for himself after being called safe as if he did something great lol. Nearly tried to snap the dudes forearm in half and was proud that he got away with it. Talk about a shyster!
0:11 - Even the ball guy covering foul territory in right field seems to be clandestinely trying to interfere by subtly drifting toward Doug Mientkiewicz as he passes to retrieve the swatted ball.
I remember this when I was in middle school. Right after that call they had to send the swat because the fans in the Bronx were throwing baseball onto the field and beer bottles too. They were about to riot. That’s where I got more into baseball especially these rivals times. Good old times! I miss it!
Yes, that is what the rule requires when interference is called.

In Dominican slang, that's called "tigueraje" - when talent isn’t enough, you use it. It's valid, doesn’t break the rules, but happens when you’re not delivering or falling short. You resort to "tigueraje" because the right way isn’t working for you
I was so glad when the Yankees got Arod because that is when I called my college roommate and told her we are going to win the WS. She said we have being saying that for years. I answered Arod is a Jinx. The Dominican hitting the Cuban and I the Puerto Rican believing my observation. He jinxed the Mariners and the Rangers.😅😅😅😅
1:22 Joe Torre out there defending his player even when he knows his player is in the wrong. I'm not sure what I think about that. On the one hand, it's good for the players to know that your manager is going to have your back. On the other hand, Torre probably could have saved any goodwill he had with the umpires for a more meaningful argument.
I was at the game with my Schilling jersey on by first base.I couldn't believe how ignorant Yankees fans were on that play.I Remember yelling at the field good call
A-Rod and his ridiculous Hamburger Helper gloves clearly slaps the ball from Arroyo's glove and is rightly called OUT!! Yankees suffer greatest collapse in the history of MLB as the Red Sox come back from 3-0 deficit to win 4 in a row and then go on to sweep the Cardinals for the World Series Title. Yankees have never been the same since and have only one championship in the last 24 seasons......
No one ever mentions it, but it was a pretty pathetic hit to begin with. You're paying this dude more money than any other player in baseball history, and he grounds out 1B? In game 6 of the ALCS? Where was Raul Ibanez lol
A Rod was great in the regular season against mediocre pitching, and padded his stats with a lot of meaningless HR's when the game was already over. In the clutch he was generally horrible.
@@MM-yn9db I didn't even remember this until Mike Franseca brought it up but one of the biggest at-bats of the series was the 8th inning of game 5. Yankees had first & third with one out and Arod up against Timlin. If arod gets a hit or a sac fly, it's 5-2 and game over. Instead he struck out and the Sox rallied in the bottom of the eighth.
What seem worse than arod slapping the ball out of arroyos hand is seeing joe torre run too the field when he surely knew the call was right.im a Yankee fan all my life and clearly torre as being a manager knew the rules . wat was his point running into the field for .i mean was he blind also to not noticed his player slap the ball. Of course he saw it all mlb fans saw it ppl at home saw it. A managers job besides managing the team is 2 have powers of observation on your players. a sore loser he showed there. If it was the other way around surely joe torre would've Noticed and protested too just like terry francona did.fare is fare.. Love my Yankees regardless but i play fare and aint buyest towards them cause thats my team the red sox had a point fare and square
A runner who misses a base is safe until the defense makes an appeal. The umpire saw the ball on the ground but could not see the slap. That's why he signaled safe. Arod was eventually called out for interference, so it is a moot point anyway.
Franky Broadcast, The first base umpire was blocked and signaled safe when he saw the ball on the ground. The video doesn't show us if ARod touched the base or not. If he didn't, the runner is safe unless the defense appeals the missed base. It's a moot point anyway since ARod was out the when he committed interference.
The first base umpire had the worst view of that play of anyone in the field, because he's behind Miller and can't see a thing. Tito probably pointed that out which is what prompted the crew chief to get the crew together and either the RF ump, the 2B ump, or the 3B ump, all of which had better angles on what was going on, saw the play more clearly and caused the crew chief to overrule the 1B ump.
I can't think of a single play in the history of sports that sums up an individual player better than this does. This is just so Arod.

Anyone else realize that the 1st base ump still called A Rod safe WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE BAG!
This was talk about in my animal since class 🤣 he was ruling there was no tag that's why he was safe. However he couldn't see the slap
first base ump was screened by the first baseman-Rodriguez touched first after the ball rolled away.
Learn the rules before commenting. That said, that was the correct mechanic whether or not he over-ran the base. He would be called out on appeal if the umpire saw that he missed the bag.
He ruled the runner safe after the attempted tag because the ball was dropped.
