    It wasn't a HR so stop.

    If you are a fan at a game, near the wall, DON"T REACH FOR THE BALL!!!

    Now that damn Bennetendi catch was something else.  He caught it off my boy Bregman too.

    Kershaw pitched an absolute gem.

    PUIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!  I love him more and more.  I really do.

    This was a good night for MLB.

    How was it not a home run?  Betts reached into the stands, the fan didn't reach onto the field of play.  It's only interference if it's the latter.  Joe West is fucking terrible.

    But bad calls or not, you can't give up 7 runs with 2 outs and expect to win.  Bad baserunning by Kemp in the 8th.  I fell asleep top 9.

    ^^This.
    Also, the walks, passed balls & hit batters didn't help either.

    Great catch by Benintendi. If that gets through, game over. Hats off to him.

    West's call was absolutely terrible. I don't know how you can see it otherwise while looking at the replay.

    They've come back from the hole in the series before and I know they can do it again.

    It was a HR and an awful call.

    Nobody reached for the ball other than trying to catch it b/c it was going to land in their lap. 

    Most definitely shouldn’t have been an out. You can’t assume a catch on so many other plays so how does it make sense to assume a catch like that?

    When are the home fans going to realize that you have to get out of the way?  Crazy.  Tough to say Betts would not have made that catch but that clearly was a homer if he had been able to try w/o fans interfering and he did not make the catch.
    Tough pill to swallow for Astros fans, I am sure.

    Some really good plays made in the game.

    Yup, tough pill to swallow for sure. He signaled HR, then FI. The replay was pretty clear, in my opinion.

    Ugh.

    All stadiums need to have a bit of a barrier between the fans and the outfield wall to avoid stuff like this happening.  White Sox stadium has a 2-3 foot space between the wall and where the seats start...would solve everything.

    Wow, likely a Boston vs LA world series.  Great....  

    I love baseball, but not sure how much of that i'll be able to stomach and watch.

    Screw that. Umpires just have to learn to not be dipshits.

    But it doesn’t matter if he was going to make the catch. Once the ball is over the wall, there is no interference.

    The fans are reaching into the field of play for a ball, touching and affecting the fielder's glove.  The ball wasn't over the wall yet.  There were numerous hands in front of the guy's glove.  He was interfered with from making a play.  I don't like the Red Sox, but that was blatant fan interference everywhere but Yankee Stadium.

    Seems pretty clear interference, no?  It doesnt matter whether you think he would have caught it or not.  Fans prevented him from having a chance.  Its really bitter if your an Astros fan, but c'mon

    I mean look at this

    That ball looks out of play to me. His body is pretty much against the wall and his arm is obviously further back.

    His body is still a away from the wall.

    There are hands IN FRONT of Betts' glove touching the ball so that would be interference.
    Image result for astros interference
    Here his body is still 3 feet away from the wall so his arm is clearly not over the wall yet.

    Does this pic change anybody's mind?

    Is that the rule? (I don't know, just asking...)
    It does look to me like Betts reached into the stands to make the catch, so if that is the actual rule, perhaps it should have been a home run.
    Common sense (at least the way I am viewing it) would be that the player had a chance to catch the ball and was legitimately interfered with.
    What would your opinion be if he reached into the same spot, the ball was going into his glove (instead of next to his glove, which was being blocked by a fan), and a fan visibly moved his glove while trying to catch the souvenir headed straight for their lap?

    I think the guy should have a chance to catch the ball when he makes a great play like that....however that is an "I think" and does not have any official rules knowledge about this call and who hates the Red Sox.  :)

    the contact with his glove seemed to happen in front of the wall.

    I think its pretty clear he didnt have a fair chance to make the play.  He was totally going to make that catch too.  Look at below, about 1:49, those slow mo replays.  His glove was right on, and that bozo's hand shut his glove and the ball flew right where his open glove would have been.
