"They're saying he caught it". Same verbiage as Sterling. As if "they" are interpreting something different or mis-seeing something. Unreal.

Just like with Sterling, even if his eyesight is bad enough he can't see the play itself (or he had a bad angle), he should be able to read the context clues from the players to figure out what is going on. Sure, a runner appeared to cross the plate as the defense left the field but shouldn't there be more jubilation for the win? When was the last time there was a walk-off at any level that didn't involve players jumping around at the plate or mobbing the guy who drove the run in?

I honestly wonder who told him it was not a "walkoff" since he does not have a PBP partner
