Okey's 4th inning blast....


May 30, 2016, 6:39 PM

.... was a home run! Watching the replay.... Camera shot shows something the announcers missed.... Immediately behind the yellow tape on the glass is a round-rod railing (say that three times).... The only way a ball bounces like Okey's ball did is for it to go OVER the tape and hit the railing BEHIND the tape.... Watch the replay until the camera shot shows a side view of the top of the wall and tell me what you think!! Too bad the top of the railing wasn't flat!!

I was wondering the same thing. The bounce made more sense off the round rail than the top railing.

I agree. Watching it live and on replays, I couldn't see how they thought it hit the line. Didn't make sense to me. The bounce seemed to imply it hit behind it to me.

The railing to me looked like it was about four inches thick with a two inch deep pocket. I believe the ball hit at the bottom and back of the pocket causing it to bounce back up and out in the direction it came from.

That's right ....

.... with the 1 inch dia or so round bar in back.... that caused weird direction of the bounce.... without the round bar it most likely bounces forward.... not backward....
