CC Sabathia No-Hitter Video – Brewers Appeal Call

If you listen to the Milwaukee Brewers, CC Sabathia was robbed of a no-hitter on Sunday. Sabathia, who the Brewers acquired from the Cleveland Indians earlier in the season, ended up pitching a one-hitter after an earlier call was scored a hit instead of an error.
Ironically enough, the fielder in question was Sabathia himself. Andy LaRoche of the Pittsburgh Pirates hit a dribbler to the mound that Sabathia tried to field with his bare hand. Sabathia wasn’t able to come up with the ball and LaRoche was safe at first base.
After the game, the Brewers announced they will protest the judgment call. They will send in videos to the league and how the league will overturn the hit and turn it into an error. If that happens, Sabathia will have to be given a no-hitter.
Here is the CC Sabathia video of his potential no-hitter that was ruined by what could have been called an error.
Looks like an error to me. The runner was not even half-way down the line when CC flubbed the ball. He could have thrown him out with a clean pick-up.
