Blainorama5 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 3 thoughts. 1. Yeah that is weird, I can see how that threw off his concentration. 2. It didn't affect the flight that much, think he probably shouldve caught it. 3. His non-existence as a WR helped me lose a fantasy game. UGH!!!

You're focused on the ball for like 5 long seconds. Your watching it all the way into your hands. Nothing but brown ball and blue sky. Just as the ball gets to you, bright yellow flashes across your vision, smacks the ball with a thud, and bounces away. Whatwasthat?!? Drop. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I used to field punts....this will TOTALLY distract any returner. It is almost like a jump scare. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 What happened with the bird example? Did they just re-do the pitch and not count it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No pitch call https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_pitch "One of the most famous no pitch calls occurred when Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Randy Johnson hit a bird with a pitch. During a spring training game on March 24, 2001, Johnson's fastball struck and killed a dove that swooped across the infield after Johnson released the pitch.[3] MLB's chief umpire noted that under Rule 8.01(c),[2] umpires can make calls in situations not covered by the rules using "common sense and fair play," and here a no pitch call "was the fairest thing to do."[4] This no pitch call is so well known that there are more Google search results for "Randy Johnson bird" than there are for "Randy Johnson baseball."[5]" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how many people you just offended with that comment? That dove was probably someone's cherished pet and everyone on here whoever had a dove as a pet is really upset. C'mon man, that's disgusting.😉 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1ManRaid Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 I believe it was just ruled a muffed punt. Logically, it should be ruled a dead/downed ball like when a pass hits a ref in the head, they are considered part of the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
