The Philadelphia Phillies managed to split the Atlanta Braves into their division for the early season on Sunday night, but the game does not end without controversy.

Bohm was called safe at the board. Looks like he’s beaten a throw from Marcell Ozuna. The ball bounced twice before reaching Braves catcher Travis d’Arnaud. Repetitions, however, revealed that Bohm never touched the home plate, and d’Arnaud put the label on him.
The play was revised and maintained, which angered fans at Truist Park. Rubbish will then strewn the field while fans show their contempt for the call.
“I was called safe. That’s all that matters,” Bohm said after the game when Philadelphia won 7-6.
D’Arnaud insisted he got the label on Bohm.

“After that, I saw it from even more angles and it didn’t seem like his foot was touching the plate.”
Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson was unhappy with fans throwing trash on the field.
“What happened after (the call) – I love this city. I love our fans. They are passionate. They care. But what happened after they announced the call, that’s the most embarrassing part of the all night.Not the call, but the reaction and throwing things on the field.Because it’s number 1, it’s disrespectful to the people who do so much work to have the field ready every day to make sure it “in the best form possible., which puts players at risk. It’s incredibly disrespectful. said.
“And then, worst of all, I do not think people realize we have families here. There are children here. There are children sitting in the front row and you have bottles beating at their heads.
