It wasn't definitely anything other than close.
Ball was inside the glove when Ozzie got there, but it didn't appear to be secured yet. Shouldn't have been enough to overturn.
For the record I thought he was out watching it live.
Swanson...
It doesn’t have to secured. Just “in” the glove (doesn’t need to even hit the glove).
But it’s under appeal though. There’s supposed to be an update soon on the verdict.
You have heard wrong. It does not have to impact the glove.I've never heard it that way. The ball has to impact the glove...it was inside it, but didn't appear to have stopped. It does have to be controlled by the fielder though.
Either way, it wasn't definitive enough to overturn. I'd say the same if they had called him out on the field.
Are you sure? I think we need a second link to verify ESPN’s report because I definitely heard that we should expect a report soon.It was updated before game started and dicussed by all the pre game people. Also, this from EPSN
