Classic example of the umps getting the call wrong at first, with the guy with the perfect view being 4 feet away just missing the call. Then they reverse it to the right call with the ump who made the wrong call being overruled by a guy who's probably 90 feet or more away. Puts collins in a tough spot because I'm sure he goes out there knowing the umps got it right in the end but the way they did it looks bad. The guy with the best view gets overruled by a guy far away, at home, in a big spot in the game. Collins had to get run there.
Can someone explain to me how this wasn't a balk? Pitchers was on the rubber and started his motion that is identifiable with the throw being a pitch, THEN he turns.

I was there it ruined all the momentum
One thing you gotta give the Mets announcers credit for, they are fair and honest, yet still passionate about their home team
Collins looking like an idiot again. Argue when you know you're right. If the umps make a mistake and get it right in the end then shut up!
Haha butt tag
The black hole of Mets baseball.

awful rundown anyway. a real manager lets the call stand and sends the infield back to single A

Is Collins also arguing that it was supposed to be a balk
