Sox with huge pitching issues right now. It's too bad they didn't get rid of Floyd at the deadline.

Great article on "The Protest" http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1284836...ver-call-vs-cws

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:27 AM) They saying its a bit ridiculous as well? They haven't even really discussed if it could possibly be overturned. More like Harold Reynolds is saying that typically every player in baseball runs inside the line when they hit a ball.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:26 AM) thought i saw too that they could overturn it if it drastically affected the outcome of the game. imo, it didnt. the angels had the lead and blew it and cmon, greinke was just bad in that inning. soscia is an idiot, get over it It's not like it would have been the third out of the inning anyways.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 04:23 AM) It was a very s***ty throw by Ianetta If the umpires said they knew he was inside the line but it didn't impact the throw, then a protest seems ridiculous. MLB Network discussing the situation right now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 04:10 AM) "I think it's a very clear case in our favor...all 3 umpires agree he was inside the line. But they said they have discretion not to call it if he didn't disrupt the throw.." Soscia is pissed The rules says it's the umpire's judgment. Thus, the Angels have no case here if the umps said it didn't disrupt the throw.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:04 AM) That PK play may have ended up costing them the game. In the first inning? It's impossible to say that, as maybe Dunn gets a better lead when Rios is up and scores on the single?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:05 AM) They'll file it but it won't be considered until Monday because the league offices are closed "You've got to be bleepin' me...I wish I could cuss"

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:03 AM) Yea that protest isn't going anywhere. It was a legitimate gripe, but of they didnt overturn it right then, nothing is gonna happen. Umpires judgement call, they blew it but it was their call Yeah, seems Twins could have easily protested Tuesday night's game where PK threw the ball out of play but the umps didn't call it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 05:00 AM) Angels broadcasters are saying it won't be submitted until Monday. Much ado about nothing. Say on the FREAK occasion where they ruled in favor of a protest. Does the game just continue from that spot on? It seems like a real bad precedent to start having judgment calls be overturned via protest. Kinda ironic cause Sox got screwed by a runner inside the line this week as well.

So when do we hear about the outcome of the protest?

It's All Good

"How's she going to get that out of her hair?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:48 AM) Sarah got a going away gift! That was awesome! She's going to YES Network, I didn't know that

Great job by PK of striking out so that there wasn't an open base for the Angels to walk Rios!!

I thought for sure Trout was going to catch that

RIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:43 AM) I'd have no problem if they put Danks in motion. Excellent, come on Rios!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:42 AM) That was a good slider. Dang it. Come on Rios. Put it in the GAP. I can't recall the last time Konerko did anything meaningful from the 7th inning and on

I'd have no problem if they put Danks in motion.

Well, at least it wasn't a strikeout.

This guy throw a sinker? Huge DP possibility here, I'd love a flare to right field.

Ha, good start there. Come on PK, no double plays

I give all three of these hitters permission to swing for the fences.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 03:31 AM) Great job Thorty. The walk was unnecessary though. Slider looked better. His slider's been great of late
