Los Angeles vs. St. Louis, Dodgers lead series 2-0
Absolutely brutal call tonight that cost the Twins a lead in extra innings. In the top of the 11th, Joe Mauer hit a ball down the left field line. The left fielder got a glove on it and it landed 3-6 inches inside the foul line then bounced into the stands. It should have been a ground rule double. The umpire was right there on the left field line and called foul. Mauer proceeded to single in the at bat. The next batter singled to right field, but Mauer could not advance past second because he had to wait for the ball to go in front of him. The following batter hit a single up the middle. Mauer would have easily scored if he had been on second. The Yankees got three quick outs with a line drive to the first baseman, a dribbler to the pitcher, and a fly ball to CF.
Mark Texeira led off the bottom of the 11th with a walk off line drive homerun down the left field line that bounced over the top of the wall.
I don't care who wins this series, but I don't like to see an umpire blow a call that could impact an entire season.
