[u/vanillabear26]

So Ty's homer that wasn't will get a lot of attention, but

"We had another N-word ball a moment ago” is an ALL-TIMER AJ quote.

[u/tcg_enthusiast → u/vanillabear26]

i did a double take on that one too

[u/LopsidedCry7692 → u/vanillabear26]

Im glad someone caught that. I couldn't believe it lol

[u/TheRage469 → u/vanillabear26]

What in the fuck does that even MEAN? Lmao

[u/illforgetsoonenough → u/TheRage469]

Nuts, neck... you know the things everyone thinks about when you hear the term "n-word"

/s just in case

[u/TheRage469 → u/illforgetsoonenough]

....is...is that actually his rationale behind saying that? Cus WOW there's not a soul alive that'd think that

[u/vanillabear26 → u/TheRage469]

He is a weird dude who is NOT eloquent. I absolutely believe that's what he was trying to say.

[u/dukefett → u/vanillabear26]

What the fuck lol, I was not watching, context?

[u/bcoates26 → u/dukefett]

Fermin got hit in the NUTS and then Contreras got hit in the NECK

[u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

The biggest annoying thing here is the announcers not knowing wtf they were talking about, immediately saying home run

[u/Suspicious_Tank_61 → u/[deleted]]

Up until that point the giggle brothers were epitome of professionalism.

[u/Mr-Swood → u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

Yeah that was bad. Pretty sure this has happened in the Trop before. Ball is in play.

[u/Internal_Wheel_89 → u/Mr-Swood]

the Trop does have two catwalk rings where it is a home run if a ball hits them.  It's happened several times, including in the playoffs, and I think people just assume that any ball that hits any roof is a home run.  But it's not even always that way at the Trop, which has two other catwalk rings where it is NOT a home run!

[u/Mr-Swood → u/Internal_Wheel_89]

I seem to remember a fielder losing a ball when it hit one of the catwalks and it fell in the field. 

[u/JetpackingPenguin → u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

it was honestly incredibly unprofessional of them. the moment it was caught it was an out. as announcers it is not your job to start saying it's a home run???? that's a fire-able offense in my opinion. You confused many fans and started a potential controversy for what?

[u/Luis_Arraez_Fan → u/JetpackingPenguin]

Yep, a simple, "what's going on here, what's the rules"? would have been fine.

[u/JetpackingPenguin → u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

the worst thing is when someone is objectively wrong and they gaslight a bunch of people by just yelling the wrong thing over and over again "it's a homerun"

[u/3PuttIfImLucky → u/JetpackingPenguin]

Fireable offense is a little crazy lol

[u/JetpackingPenguin → u/3PuttIfImLucky]

mostly it's because I can't stand AJ, sue me

[u/sportsfan510 → u/Luis_Arraez_Fan]

I had to watch on much. Play by play guy would get wayyy too excited for mostly meaningless moments in the middle of the game

[u/radmobile2020]

That moonshot by France is taking a lot of pressure off Manny for watching two fastballs go right down the dick without moving the bat.

[u/tarfu7 → u/radmobile2020]

Also Tatis in the 8th

[u/theorfo → u/tarfu7]

Your best two hitters stranding 5 runners while seeing six pitches combined is a bad, bad look. Roof fuckery be damned.

[u/counteroffer19]

Forgotten amongst Ceiling Gate, in the late innings was some crazy pitching psychology from the Brew Crew. If my hazy memory serves, Tatis, Machado, and Merrill all stared at early strikes directly down the dick. As if the Brewers concocted a strategy of "When the game gets late, they'll overthink the moment and wait for a pitch that'll never come". Brilliant.

[u/Coalthair → u/counteroffer19]

thier coaches found out the padres weakness of fastballs in the strike zone

[u/Internal_Wheel_89]

from a 2021 article about why Tropicana Field has ground rules where hitting certain catwalks is a home run:

Tropicana Field is the only fixed stadium in the sport. 

But there are several other retractable-roof parks in the game that will occasionally have a cover over the field: American Family Field in Milwaukee, Chase Field in Phoenix, Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, LoanDeport Park in Miami, Minute Maid Park in Houston, Rogers Centre in Toronto and T-Mobile Park in Seattle.

None of the other parks shares the same potential catwalk concerns that Tropicana Field faces. For the stadiums with retractable roofs, the rules are simply that if a batted ball hits the roof over fair territory, it is in play and if caught is an out. If it hits the roof in foul territory, it is a dead ball.

[u/freedomfun]

I hope they interview the inanimate carbon rod post game. Elite defense to save the game

[u/MolestedMilkMan]

MLB POST THE ROOF INCIDENT, NO BALLS

[u/Moose4KU]

That's why you win all those regular season games for home field advantage.

So that your retractable roof can swat down no-doubter home runs in the 9th lmao

[u/TheRage469 → u/Moose4KU]

That's some crazy long-con shit

[u/s_bub → u/TheRage469]

Murphball

[u/Atraktape → u/Moose4KU]

Brewers most regular season wins so their roof can say F U

[u/Heelincal → u/Moose4KU]

I propose Petco just puts up a giant wall between innings.

[u/Ok_Statistician_7898 → u/Moose4KU]

No doubter in 1/30 parks lol https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?gamePk=849830&game_date=2026-10-03

[u/miamiflashfan → u/Moose4KU]

I know it's just some random guy's word but I was at the game sitting down the left field line and can promise you that ball was 100% not going out

[u/Brave-Date8606]

I can hear every domed stadium hater frothing at the mouth right now

[u/Suspicious_Tank_61]

Milwaukee built the roof like that just to rob France of a home run.

[u/Zealous-Armadillo797 → u/Suspicious_Tank_61]

The long game 🧠

[u/pharout16]

Tfw

[u/Stratifyed → u/pharout16]

American Family Field Rogers Centre’d San Diego.

That was fun to type. How often do you get to correctly capitalize every word in a sentence

[u/GuyFarting195]

Why didn’t France just hit the ball through the roof? Is he stupid?

[u/SlimReaper201]

[u/PhreakOut4 → u/SlimReaper201]

A HR on 49 LA would be crazy

[u/captain_ahabb → u/PhreakOut4]

Yeah I don't entirely get all the outrage here. His angle was way too deep to get out.

[u/LardLad00 → u/captain_ahabb]

Because the dumbass announcers insisted on it

[u/Ancient_Algae64 → u/captain_ahabb]

It also looked like he was way out in front. Could have easily faded foul

[u/Shift_42 → u/SlimReaper201]

For everybody wondering: statcast does not use actual hit distance as part of their projected distance and HR/park, so the roof bounce is not throwing off this analysis(as far as I’m aware)

[u/happyjello]

1 WAR goes to American Family Field

[u/CreativeProfile5197 → u/happyjello]

“Another fWAR to AmFam”

[u/MikeMahtookTooMuch]

Losing a regular season game like that would be sickening.

[u/Scmods05]

Baseball huh. Crazy sport.

[u/AceScout]

Interesting baseball flight simulator here presented without comment. Interesting to play around with, especially taking into account different back and side spin rates.

[u/noidontwantto → u/AceScout]

that's pretty cool, but where is the slider that change the objective laws of physics with my subjective feelings and bias?

[u/NintendudeX]

Why the fuck is the roof even closed today??

[u/AmySchumersAnalTumor → u/NintendudeX]

They wanted to gas out the Pads with all the collective farts of the bratwurst rangoons being eated

[u/therolando906 → u/NintendudeX]

Light showers in the area tonight

[u/MidsizeTunic0 → u/NintendudeX]

MLB tells the team what to do with the roof in the playoffs. They tend to close it for TV crowd noise

[u/SnapHackelPop → u/NintendudeX]

The league makes the decision. Hopefully this changes how they think of it

[u/miamiflashfan → u/SnapHackelPop]

It was literally raining

[u/carlthesnake → u/NintendudeX]

I’m literally standing in rain waiting for my uber

[u/Jaire_Noises → u/NintendudeX]

Because we knew for the first time ever another team would hit one off the roof and save the game for us, obviously

[u/Ok-Commercial7310]

Same people who measured Babe Ruth’s 587-foot home run are commenting in this thread. Also the same people who throw their arms up at every deep flyout.

[u/badusername35]

This is why they shouldn’t have roofs. Players dying to the elements is necessary sacrifice for avoiding weird technicalities and edge cases.

[u/3PuttIfImLucky → u/badusername35]

Yeah cuz youre gonna die to the elements in Milwaukee in the spring or fall

[u/mocksfolder]

Fun fact: back when fans were still allowed in the outfield the ground rule triple, which states a live ball that rolls into the crowd is an automatic triple, was invented to prevent players from getting into fights with fans who wanted to keep the ball.

[u/cgfn]

San Diego Sports Curse strikes again

[u/RickySuela → u/cgfn]

God hates the Padres, confirmed

[u/Scroetry]

Some guys died putting that roof up, this one's for them

[u/totallynotliamneeson → u/Scroetry]

Ghosts did this 

[u/Imstupidasso → u/Scroetry]

3 people did

[u/rockiesfan4ever]

Surely Padres fans won't continue to bring this up 15+ years later 😉

[u/Joementum2004]

Usual cursed team bullshit lol, just incredible

[u/shreddallday62]

What was that? Horrible way for that game to end

[u/Hokie_Pilot]

People are saying that savant is saying 325ft so no homer and then other people are saying that savant doesn’t go off projected distance but rather how far it actually traveled so it’s not taking the roof hit into account…somebody tell me truth!! Hahaha

[u/tyler-86]

Just insanely bad luck. The umpires didn't do anything wrong. They correctly applied the ground rule.

[u/HagelMcPointerov]

It's nice to see people complaining about someone else's roof for a change, its usually us catching flack for ours

[u/a-wander-in]

Everyone having a real normal one in here

[u/TheoMoneyG]

ROOFGATE

[u/blade21st]

https://giphy.com/gifs/TlK63EHCoY4htxzXHqg

that Ty France hit is going to be talked about for awhile

[u/SnowballWasRight]

12 LOB so fucking whatever. Just what a weird ass way to put a dagger into a game. I get it’s the rule and everything but just unfortunate.

[u/bobthecow81 → u/SnowballWasRight]

Stop being reasonable!

[u/MilwauKyle]

[u/Crazylockdown]

Dodgers have Ohtani, Brewers got the Roof

[u/messipendencia]

have we considered that bob uecker did this

[u/Thin_Area_4146]

One of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen

[u/Sasfsqut_update_122 → u/Thin_Area_4146]

1/30 HR btw, only taking EV and launch angle into account

[u/markjay6 → u/Thin_Area_4146]

Insane way to lose a game

[u/Heelincal → u/markjay6]

Idk how but I'm blaming Ken Rosenthal for this too

[u/TheIceMan068]

Padres were punished for hitting the ball too hard

[u/godjacob]

Losing a game because of a roof is something I did not expect to see today.

[u/Larz61]

In MLB  the rule is: if the ball comes in contact with roof and it is in fair territory when the ball makes contact, the ball is still live. The same rule applies to either team. Bad break for the Padres but the Brewers caught the ball. So don't say the Padres were robbed, its the rules each team agreed to.The only exception is if the ball gets wedged in the roof, then, and only then, is the play repeated.

[u/IamMrT → u/Larz61]

I get the frustration, but it’s been blown way out of proportion. I blame the announcers for not knowing the rules and insisting it should have been a homer (which we can’t even guarantee based on launch data). That’s the rules, that’s baseball.

[u/messipendencia]

i have watched hundreds of brewers games in my lifetime, maybe thousands, and i've never seen that happen. i sure hope that wasn't a monkey's paw situation. got away with one 1000%

[u/Ok-Narwhal-8499 → u/messipendencia]

First time I've ever seen that happen too

[u/LovelyJulesss]

FUCK THIS STADIUM BALL DOES LIE WHAT THE FUCK

[u/indecisive_aspie]

I’m over the roof play, tracking seems to indicate it would only be out in 1/30 parks. 

Machado and Merrill were awful in critical spots with RISP while also having terrible final ABs to conclude it. 

I guess at least they didn’t have to use Miller, it’s tough to get a win off a Miz start but it’s worse because they were so close. 

[u/GetOffMyGradey]

Why was the roof even closed?

[u/thesmash → u/GetOffMyGradey]

MLB decides during postseason and they basically always close it

[u/SnapHackelPop → u/GetOffMyGradey]

League decides

[u/Runnynose12]

Im just here to say this is why I love baseball lol there’s just so many weird goofy things that can happen

[u/tcg_enthusiast]

wow

[u/it_follows]

Ty France is about to ask to speak to baseball’s manager

[u/jorleeduf]

I want to know the projected distance of that ball

[u/counteroffer19]

Best thing the Pads can do is completely dump it and refocus immediately. Next game is in about 15 hours.

[u/Ledees_Gazpacho]

That’s a brutal way for such an incredible game to end 

[u/Scroetry]

Guys how do you think the roof feels

[u/mtnrangeman → u/Scroetry]

I wouldn’t feel too good if I was just roofin’ around minding my own roof business, and then suddenly some French dude hits me with a ball really hard but suddenly I’m the bad guy

[u/PizzaRuckus]

[u/Past_Yak3579]

The hand of Uecker

[u/phantom_pioneer]

What was the statcast on that?

[u/TheUltimatePunV2]

WHAT WERE THE EFFIN METRICS OF THAT HIT??? In a world where stats are so important why haven’t I seen that shit on the game yet?

[u/Joementum2004]

You all think maybe the baseball hit by France was deflated by the Brewers before the pitch? There's a good chance that it might not have been at the right psi levels and that it affected the launch angle of the ball. If the Brewers have anyone employed who used to work with the Patriots it's possible this is what happened

[u/Adderall--]

Feel bad for San Diego here..

[u/Scroetry]

Give the roof a glove

[u/Gatoray_]

MVP

[u/mrshavedsnow]

God I would hate to be a padres fan rn. Just absolutely devastating lol

[u/Imstupidasso]

It was a great game by both teams but really the 12 men LOB had more to do with the Padres losing then the France play. San Diego burned a lot of bullpen, Milwaukee not far behind. As a Brewers fan, we've seen this team come back many times and pitching pretty damn good. They'll be back at it today so lets get after it. San Diego is downplaying Logan and what he has done this year so let's bring it home

[u/Forsaken-Truck-596]

There should be a "yeah I know the rules but come on thats bullshit" review

[u/LikeHemlock]

I do not watch baseball but how does it make sense that a ball hitting the roof is still in play…?

[u/tyler-86 → u/LikeHemlock]

One can quibble about the ground rule but it was established a long time ago.

[u/Bstokes4102]

Now that's what I call a home field advantage

[u/JetpackingPenguin]

i'd be pissed as hell if I were a Pads fan. but the ground rules are the rules. You accept the ground rules when you play at that stadium and anyone saying the game is rigged or that the ball should've been called dead is clearly a casual

[u/DMOOre33678 → u/JetpackingPenguin]

I mean it’s the same as that ball that got wedged in the World Series. Both teams knew the rules going into it

[u/turtle921]

Super unlucky for the Padres

[u/RCcola57]

W- Hall
L- Morejon

All I can say is that we almost won The Miz game. Time to get high and be sad.

[u/Currimos]

I don’t smoke but I have the urge to go purchase a pack of cigarettes. The closest store is 5 miles away so I’ll probably walk.

[u/geerwolf]

Does Misierowski only throw 105 in the first inning ?

[u/Bread117 → u/geerwolf]

Bro was gassed up

[u/False-Tell5146]

Nobody was "robbed." It's the rule!

[u/btrue53142 → u/False-Tell5146]

According to Statcast, it wouldn't have been a home run anyway based on exit velocity and angle.  Relax.  Brewers won, no controversy.

[u/Boomhauer_007]

Baseball is supposed to be played outside roofs are stupid

[u/ralz408]

Feel bad for the Padres! Brutal way to lose

[u/JohnnyChee]

sorry for launching it to mars we thought we were playing baseball

[u/sacwax69]

I’ve never seen a ball hit off the roof before at miller park. I’m sure you can triangulate where the ball would have landed, but the ground rule is out

[u/DELCO-PHILLY-BOY]

“I don’t understand why rain delays are a thing anymore, there’s no reason not to just build your ballpark with a roof”

[u/HokageEzio]

I would be sick to my stomach. Imagine that in a winner take all.

[u/Noriskhook3]

Well you want to talk about controversy…

[u/karmew32]

That cable was installed by Marlon McCree.

[u/Cultris734]

That was such a good hit as well

[u/Squishy_20]

Least controversial ending to a Padres road playoff game

[u/AutographedSnorkel]

Retractable roof for the win

[u/Gigi_0102]

why didn’t he hit it …less far??

[u/rels_LT]

Game decided by the ultra rare rooftop doink

[u/Enamred-771]

That is the dumbest ground rule I’ve seen in my life. Since when do ricochets count as outs? Is there any other park with a similar ground rule? 

[u/hypnoticus103]

Bob Uecker swatted that ball down from heaven.

[u/Suspicious_Tank_61]

Why didn’t Ty hit that ball softer? Is he stupid?

[u/Velox_Slice]

To me, this kills some of the logic behind other situations with the ball touching the field of play. For example, when a foul ball heads for the stands in a stadium, it doesn't get counted as an out if it hits the protective net before you catch it. I don't see why we would treat a roof differently. In both instances, the player isn't really fielding the hit ball, they're fielding off of the stadium.

Now, we can't know for sure that the ball stays fair so I can understand not calling a HR. But at the least, this should be a dead ball. Calling it an out just feels like the worst option available.

[u/frix86 → u/Velox_Slice]

The protective net is on foul territory, the part of the roof the ball hit was in fair territory. If it hit the roof in foul territory, it would have been ruled foul.

[u/paranoidata]

It is still raining in Milwaukee if anyone is concerned.

[u/LardLad00 → u/paranoidata]

Yeah raining NLDS wins 

[u/18WheelerPackage]

baseball belongs outdoors

[u/Overall_Extent_4609]

Unlucky, but we cannot be leaving that many runners on base. FFS.

[u/FreedomKid7]

Absolutely ugly beat for the Padres. Anti dome people are probably vindicated

[u/Significant_Base9855]

People hating the roof of that stadium like it’s Hitler lol

[u/Awkward_Medicine_864]

What’s going to get overlooked is how smart Chourio was to play that ball as live and track it and catch it. Harper would’ve just watched it roll to the fence while the padres were celebrating lol

[u/ScotTheDuck]

Super deflating ending that makes it easy to miss a lot of good: they did what they needed to against Mis, a lot of the role guys had good days, and the bullpen (mostly) locked down after Ray came out.

Need to move past it, and plead to God that the issues from the first half with clutch hitting haven’t decided to come back. It was a good game between two really good teams, and there’s still at least two more games to go.

[u/Pikminious_Thrious]

Gonna need every ballpark to build domes and deploy tactical stalactites from the ceiling.

[u/Doodenmier]

That was one of the craziest hits I've ever seen. The luck/unluckiness is off the charts on that one

[u/Ok_Chemist6567]

Most San Diego way ever to end a game. But you gotta keep the faith. A lot of baseball left to play.

[u/McGrathLegend]

I really hate that rule, that should absolutely benefit the hitting team, should be an automatic double

[u/AdmiralAngry]

Bullshit call.

[u/Hokie_Pilot]

Hey Padres just a tip: if you get basically no hit like the Yankees did, you don’t have to worry about hitting the roof!!!

[u/hundredjono]

Yeah I'd be absolutely livid at that call, what a shitty way to end a close postseason game.

Baseball should be played outdoors.

[u/unethical_science]

I’m willing to accept that we lost the game applying the rules as they are, but can we also accept that we should have some better rules about hitting the roof???

[u/MLGWolf69]

Are we gonna talk about Miserowski? He did not have it

[u/Short_Bus_ → u/MLGWolf69]

nah the padres just musta spent the last 48 hours practicing off of 110mph pitching machines

he was fantastic but I've never seen a team actually foul his fastball off like that instead of whiffing

[u/Short_Bus_ → u/Short_Bus_]

the cutters were also poor pitch calling, that was eventually mostly abandoned-- but the really really really impressive thing was how the Padres clearly prepared so fantastically

[u/woolf707 → u/Short_Bus_]

Kudos to that kid Dustin Harris. I didn't understand why he was batting 2nd but after watching his AB against Miz, I was super impressed.

[u/beenhadballs → u/MLGWolf69]

Bill was getting cute and calling a lot of cutters that were getting touched up every time. It was less about him not having it and more about shitty calls but still walking out with the win.

I hate this ballpark

[u/bodowned]

Unlucky that it hit the roof cable, but it was never a home run. There was no discretion here per ground rules. It’s an out or it’s a live ball if it lands fair.

[u/salparadisewasright → u/bodowned]

I think most would agree the rule was correctly applied. My issue is the rule is idiotic.

When the puck hits the scoreboard in hockey, play doesn’t just continue. At the very least, it should just be a dead ball. The idea that the fucking roof is in play is insane.

[u/bodowned → u/salparadisewasright]

Oh, it’s the dumbest/luckiest thing I’ve ever seen in my life. Especially with those stakes. But the announcers were an absolute joke trying to make it seem like the umps had an opportunity to deem it a home run if they wanted to.

[u/WearingABear]

I can take an actual fucking loss, but that ball was a mile out of the stadium. Fucking bullshit.

[u/radmobile2020]

Ball does lie.

[u/HackDiesel]

Baseball is dumb.

[u/A_Hippie]

Fraduluent fucking devil magic dude

[u/10sekki]

They better leave it open tomorrow

[u/McPluckingtonJr]

I will also say, that shit has happened at the metrodome multiple times. you play the ball off the roof

[u/noobs1996]

It’s a weird experience being a Padres fan

[u/RaspberryRare7096]

Is there any website that can predict the possible trajectory  of that ty France roof hit ball? 

[u/Sparty013]

I wanna see the ball track on that. I thought it would have hooked foul personally but I may be totally wrong

[u/lightningsg39]

Roof cable for MVP

[u/RedShark106]

I need to see those batted ball metrics

[u/yaboi525]

The boys were very unclutch sadly, we had numerous chances to win it and we choked, Merrill especially 

Low key tho if Tony Gwynn jr is right and Frances hit would have been a HR and the roof prevented it that is mega stupid 

[u/Mezcalisgood555]

Is there somewhere yet that shows where that ball would have gone if the roof/railing wasn’t there? We definitely have that technology right?

[u/soloqueso]

I’m too afraid to go to my team’s sub

[u/Imaginary_View_1956]

lmao the idiot commentators gaslight an entire fandom...that wasn't a homerun. this "controversy" is so dumb and really shows how tribal reddit is to immediately jump to the same conclusion after 5 seconds.

[u/victoryboiiTCG]

Either a dead ball or a HR

[u/Low_Chemistry_7908]

So you hit a ball so far and so long and it’s declared an out? Damn that’s a hard loss.

[u/tony_sandlin]

Doctor said i need to cut my sodium levels so I guess that’s enough of this thread for the night.

[u/Bongopro]

Don’t even know what to fucking say

[u/Informal_West_6864]

That would have been a unicorn of a home run blast with that launch angle
