Chris McMonigle (0:00)

Doopie doop!

Craig Carton (0:01)

Dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby dibby!

SPEAKER_3 (0:03)

In an oombop, she gone.

Craig Carton (0:09)

I don't know what you're singing over there.

SPEAKER_3 (0:11)

Sing at the end of the song.

Craig Carton (0:13)

888-888-119, 8 o'clock tonight. Cam Schiller against Freddie Peralta.

As we get ready for Game 2 of the ALDS. Just a quick aside, you can't build a stadium where the ball can hit the ceiling and it's not a dead ball. That's how Tampa used to be, as you said earlier. So, didn't have the thing, right?

SPEAKER_3 (0:34)

They still have the thing. They have rungs of...

Craig Carton (0:36)

No, but I thought they redid the ceiling there.

SPEAKER_3 (0:38)

They did.

Chris McMonigle (0:39)

Still problematic.

Craig Carton (0:41)

So, theoretically, the same thing could happen tonight.

SPEAKER_3 (0:44)

The same thing could happen tonight, where...

SPEAKER_4 (0:47)

I don't know if they call it dead.

SPEAKER_3 (0:48)

I forget what the rules are. I think they only have foul ball and home run. I don't think there's one where...

SPEAKER_4 (0:53)

No dead ball.

SPEAKER_3 (0:53)

I don't think there's one where if it hits off the...

It's still in play and could be caught for an out. I don't know. I don't think so. I feel like it's either a foul ball or a home run.

Craig Carton (1:03)

Got it. In Tampa.

SPEAKER_3 (1:04)

In Tampa.

Craig Carton (1:04)

Got it. Because Milwaukee, it was just a live ball.

SPEAKER_3 (1:07)

Yeah. And I mean...

Craig Carton (1:09)

Padres down 0-2 now.

SPEAKER_3 (1:10)

I read an article after Evan told me. I looked it up. I read an article that did say, if you care about these kind of things, I know you're against this kind of stuff, but velocity and launch angle, they do not think that ball would have traveled far enough to be a home run.

Craig Carton (1:26)

That ball was a moonshot.

That ball was so far gone, it was crazy. You saw the same highlight I saw.

SPEAKER_3 (1:34)

I did.

Craig Carton (1:34)

That ball was gonzo.

SPEAKER_3 (1:36)

There are numbers that say it wouldn't have been a home run.

Craig Carton (1:39)

Well, this is why keep analytics and geeks out of our sports conversation, please.

SPEAKER_3 (1:43)

There's nothing else to do with judge it off analytics there. Because it didn't happen.

Something hit it.

Craig Carton (1:49)

I know you wear glasses.

SPEAKER_3 (1:51)

I do.

Craig Carton (1:52)

Eye test. Was that a home run?

Eye test.

SPEAKER_3 (1:54)

I think so.

Craig Carton (1:55)

Me too.

SPEAKER_3 (1:56)

I'm not, but I'm not...

Craig Carton (1:57)

We're in the same boat in this one.

SPEAKER_3 (1:58)

Yeah, but I don't pretend to be smarter than numbers.

And if there is an educated reason to say it wouldn't have traveled 335 feet or ever have had to travel to be a home run, I could see it. You think it's impossible that ball is not a home run?

Craig Carton (2:14)

That ball would have been 50 feet over the wall.

SPEAKER_3 (2:17)

I don't know.

Craig Carton (2:17)

That ball was so far gone.

SPEAKER_3 (2:19)

I don't think he reacted like it was that gone. Gonzo.

Craig Carton (2:23)

Gonzo. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_3 (2:25)

I do think it's bad luck because I do think it's probably a home run.

Craig Carton (2:27)

Can you imagine the Yankees losing on a game like that?

SPEAKER_3 (2:28)

No.

Craig Carton (2:29)

On a play like that, rather?

SPEAKER_3 (2:30)

Imagine we yell and yell and yell about a roof and then something like that happens. Oh, my God.

Craig Carton (2:35)

That would be terrible.

Chris McMonigle (2:37)

And by the way.

SPEAKER_3 (2:37)

And then they're all world closer. Blows the game.

Craig Carton (2:40)

But not just that. Game two of that series, they had the roof open.

Chris McMonigle (2:43)

Yeah.

Craig Carton (2:44)

Like, what are we doing? You got something there, Pete, real quick?

SPEAKER_4 (2:47)

Yeah, I did because I was reading the Tampa rules.

Chris McMonigle (2:50)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (2:51)

And there's one that sticks out that's kind of weird.

Chris McMonigle (2:53)

Go.

SPEAKER_4 (2:54)

If the ball enters the bullpen seeding area and rebounds out of the seeding area, it's in play. So meaning where, I guess, if a ball...

Craig Carton (3:04)

Because the bullpen is on the sides.

Chris McMonigle (3:06)

Yeah. Right.

Craig Carton (3:07)

As opposed to where the most stadiums have them behind the wall.

Chris McMonigle (3:10)

Right.

Craig Carton (3:11)

But you're saying if the ball goes into the bullpen area, ricochets, bing, bing, bing, that's a live ball unless it gets touched.
