    OHHHHHHHHHH! Miscommunication and ball drops in shallow LF, but infield fly rule called, negating bases loaded situation for @Braves in 8th.

    MLB's official twitter account used to say, "We don't understand the infield fly rule, either" in its profile. But that's now been removed

    By the way, look for the umps to give favorable make-up call to the #Braves in the 1st game of spring training next year

    I'm sorry but I've had enough of these replacement refs.

    As bad a call as I've ever seen in MLB. To blow that call during a 1 game playoff is unthinkable.

    Ugly scene here. Awful call. No way that was infield fly. No way.

    I think Sam Holbrook was actually signaling for the outfield fly rule there.

    Nelson Cruz now wondering why infield fly wasn't call on David Freese's game-tying hit in Game 6 last year.

    Outfield umpire, infield fly?

    If Atlanta fans really wanted to do something offensive to voice their anger, they should have just done the Tomahawk Chop

    This is a lose-lose situation for everybody. #Cardinals win tainted. #Braves fans look like idiots. Umps getting replacement ref comparsions

    #MLB's worst nightmare: This is the argument against everything being decided in 1 game instead of a series.

    Worst call in one game Wild Card Playoff history

    Everyone needs to calm down, it's not like an entire 162 game schedule is coming down to one call in a wild card play-in game.

    #RedSox scouts checking which Braves fans can throw trash the fastest. Could be a non-roster invite to spring training

    A fan hit a player with a small liquor bottle, but Dan Uggla couldn't make a routine throw to first.
