00:00Now with two strikes, no adjustments anyway.

00:04Breaking ball, grounder.

00:06Marshall lets Jeffries get it, toss the cone, he tags the bag.

00:10And they say safe.

00:12Watch the runner, he's not watching the runner.

00:14The runner scores.

00:17And coach still arguing.

00:18Here comes the second runner.

00:20The second runner scores.

00:22I don't believe I just saw that.

00:25I don't believe it.

00:26Well, you're talking about losing your cool.

00:32Cone trying to argue the situation.

00:38Here comes David Johnson to discuss the call at first base by Charlie Williams.

00:43But two runs scored and Cone had gotten rid of the ball and then continued his argument.

00:49Neither of those runners would have scored.

00:52That's just, as you said, Ralph, losing your cool totally.

00:55Let's take a look at it.

00:57Boy, this is one you'll see on the highlight film.

01:00The throw to Cone.

01:01Cone says he was on the bag.

01:05Looks pretty good.

01:06And right here, the safe call.

01:10And here's the replay from this angle.

01:12And boy, he had a piece of that bag.

01:14There's no doubt about it.

01:15But even though he had it, the call goes the other way.

01:18And you've got to get rid of the ball.

01:21Reminds me of the incident that took place exactly one year ago today when Saskia, who is now with Atlanta, held onto the ball.

01:30And the Mets beat the Cincinnati Reds.

01:32A ball game when Wilson scored from second base on that play.

01:36Saskia arguing with the umpire.

01:38That was the game that Pete Rose got ejected for punching Dave Pallone, the umpire, and was suspended for 30 days.

01:47Well, I'll tell you, we've seen some weird plays by the Mets, but that's an uncalled for a play.

01:55You see Cone yelling at the umpire here.

01:58Jeffries trying to say something to him.

02:01Jeffries right here saying, hey, get the ball into the catcher.
