The announcer of the Yankees, Michael Kay, was “amazed” by the official decision of the scorer to change an error to a blow and Finish Max Fried’s offer for hits.
Kay was incredulous when he announced to the Network Audience that the official scorer Bill Matthews had changed the way in which the ground ball that the Rays Simpson gardener had hit in the lower part of the sixth entrance, from which he originally ruled to a Humed to a regulated governed.
“No, you didn’t miss a dough. I’m absolutely stunned, ladies and gentlemen,” Kay said of a commercial break. “The scorer here in Steinbrenner Field, a man named Bill Matthews, has changed the Simpson E3 to a blow while the Yankees were in the nozzle. Simply unfathomable.
“Or you call it when it happens, you don’t expect three entries to pass. It’s amazing … [Matthews] He will have many questions about him and will have to give some good answers. I can’t believe this happened. “
Fried hit the bottom of the eighth entrance and effectively made the scoring change inconsmitted at the end.
The Yankees pitcher ended up launching 7 entries, while only allowed two hits and the Bronx bombers came out with the victory, 4-0, on the rays.
The Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that “the reality is that it was a success” when he spoke with journalists after the chaotic game.
“I sat my head with the official night scorers”, Boone told journalists. “They release a mistake in Yankee Stage on the board on the Yankee Stadium and then we go to these other places and can turn on a success with the best. It is a different game in any other park, it is really.”
The Yanks captain added that the scorers have an “ungrateful work”, but reiterated that he had “some problems” from time to time with the way things are scored.
Sunday was not the first time that the official scorer of the Rays had found himself at the Center for Attention on a work he scored.
In 2011, Matthews had ruled a play a success instead of an error while Felix Hernández was launching a game without hits for sailors against Tampa, which ended that offer in the eighth entrance, according to a Seattle Times article.
Similar to Fried’s situation, the potential controversy was reduced by something when the Rays recorded another success later that entry.
