Gordon Says Replays Show He Was Safe 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Oct 5, 2013 1:22 pm

Dee Gordon was caught stealing in the ninth inning on Friday night as the Los Angeles Dodgers attempted to rally against the Atlanta Braves.


Gerald Laird made a great throw and Gordon was called out as he tried to get in scoring position with the Dodgers trailing by a run. Slow motion replays suggest Gordon, who pinch-ran for A.J. Ellis, may have been safe.


The Braves went on to win 4-3, tying the NLDS at one game apiece.


"I watched [a replay] as soon as I came in," Gordon said. "I'm not going to harp on what he called. I thought I was safe."


Don Mattingly expressed a similar sentiment.


"Well, the view, it looks safe from our point of view," Mattingly said. "But I think we're that far away, just looks like Dee gets there before the ball gets there. And I know our replays feel like they're fairly clear, but I'm sure other people see it another way."
