Lugo SAFE!
July/27/11 18:08 Filed in: Braves
First of all, solid video proof at the end of the post.
A few things to consider.
See the top picture? This isn’t very clear, but there is a fold in Lugo’s uniform under the glove. This is when he would have been tagged. If there was contact, that fold wouldn’t be there. The catcher’s mitt would be pulling up the uniform.
McKenry applied the wrong tag. He went for a swipe tag and missed.
Look at the video. Look where Meals is. He is is a perfect position and look where Lugo’s left left is. Lego’s left leg is the perfect backdrop to the tag and give a nice white background for Meals.
Finally, look at the video in this post. Sportscenter runs the video in slow motion back and forth and Lugo is safe.
