Nelson called him out, Welke came in and said it hit the dirt.<br /><br />From the Globe:<br />The Red Sox had a runner on second with two outs in a 1-1 game when Mike Aviles appeared to strike out facing Doug Fister. But instead of the end of the inning, <b>plate umpire Jeff Nelson called it a foul tip that struck the dirt before landing in the glove of catcher Gerald Laird.</b><br /><br />Replays showed that Laird caught the ball cleanly.<br /><br /><b>First base umpire Bill Welke did not overturn the call. </b>Aviles fouled off the next pitch, then lined a single to center field, scoring Ryan Sweeney, who doubled. Daniel Nava drove in Aviles with a double. Dustin Pedroia’s RBI single gave the Red Sox a 4-1 lead.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678705548275884344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-13117024868693084942012-05-28T22:32:18.456-07:002012-05-28T22:32:18.456-07:00Yanks lose in walk-off fashion.

As long as MLB doesn't have replay we're all going to have to put up with obviously incorrect calls. It's nice when they're in the Sox favor (and the Sox did a great job of making it matter) but it's increasingly ridiculous that something like that isn't resolved via replay.<br /><br />What's more, if MLB had replay in that situation they would have figured out the correct call in 2 seconds. Instead, without replay, the Tigers (rightfully) put up a huge argument and we all had to sit through that, which added another 10 or 15 minutes onto the game.mattymattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291132296368578632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-68264490815799866972012-05-28T10:18:53.727-07:002012-05-28T10:18:53.727-07:00"This is the latest the Red Sox have been und..."This is the latest the Red Sox have been under .500 since August 23, 1996."<br /><br />This is not true as we finished 1997 with a losing record. I believe what you mean is that this is the longest it's taken us to get above .500 in a season since then. ?Jerehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13448619048422750447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-6610352427888337502012-05-28T07:32:31.618-07:002012-05-28T07:32:31.618-07:00I dont understand why Middlebrooks couldnt play ri...I dont understand why Middlebrooks couldnt play right.
