They get the call right and the Twins score at least one, which might have changed the outcome, or not. Either way, their still down 2-0 to the evil empire.

Really? How do you figure?
Probably one of the most IGNORANT (I know, it's a challenge to pick) comments by the Twins Coach- as well as the announcers of the game was that the following player hit a single which would have scored a run.
Hmmmm. Don't 'spose the PITCHES MADE would have CHANGED? Especially with a runner on third?????
Let's be realistic, here. Odds are the Twins would have run themselves OUT of the inning, anyway. Certainly better odds of that (reference game 3's final example) than the Yanks Pitcher tossing the SAME pitches under different circumstances.
Woulda-coulda-shoulda, hey, coach- he coulda hit a HOME RUN! Knowing that, I'll bet YOU ARE REALLLLLLY PI$$ed, NOW!
Good Grief.

BTW, and I am NOT a Major League Umpire fan as they ALL seem to think they are "above" the game (ref:
their strike zone) but it appears from the replay that the Left Fielder's glove may have blocked/hampered the umps view. Of course, the STUPID announcers were too much into themselves and ignored what WE all were watching. So, the Ump made a call to the best of his ability. Clearly, he did NOT see it hit in the field of play, even though it was CLEARLY in the field of play.
The glove as well as the "real time" the ump had to deal with is MY excuse for his bad call.
