Call on Jeter
July 25, 2004
Yanks lost to the Sox 9-6. Sox are back like 7 1/2 now. Unfortunately, Contreras couldn’t avoid the big inning and they got in some trouble.
A big call was made in the 8th when Jeter was called out after the ball hit him. I am really scratching my head on this one. I thought Jeter was allowed where he went, which was on the dirt to the left of the line. When he was hit, it looked like he was directly over the base – again, I felt he was allowed there. He was hit and at least one run (maybe two) would have scored on that one play (let alone what would have happened next with Sheffield and A-Rod), but the umpire called Jeter out on the basis of him being out of the baseline/interference/something of that nature.
I’ll be interested to see what other Yankee fan bloggers have to say about this tomorrow.
[Edit: I guess he is supposed to run on the foul side of the line. Why I didn't know that, I'm not sure. Anyway, from what I saw - even if he had run on the foul side of the line, the ball would have hit him/been dropped. Shame.]
