"We should still be playing right now. The play is right in front of Brian Knight. It was clear that Edwin did a good job sliding around the plant leg of Tek but his swipe tag missed him by no less than a foot. So right now, we should be out on that field playing.”
He may be right that the foot got in before the tag. Here's the thing about bitching about umpires: Nobody ever complains when calls go their way. Because if baseball were to go to robot umpires, then there's no way the game would ever have gotten that far. Assuming that baseball was played in a vacuum and everything went exactly the same, Papelbon struck out Corey Patterson, which means that Bautista's home run gives the Jays one run. Down by two, Lind stikes out for out number two and Snider (and his nasty looking moustache) flies out to left to end the game.
So no, John Farrell you shouldn't still be playing the game.
