What happened to Gavin?

lol Ryan ran 3 steps before throwing PK out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) According to the MLB rulebook: A CATCH is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or any other part of his uniform in getting possession. It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball. It is not a catch if a fielder touches a fly ball which then hits a member of the offensive team or an umpire and then is caught by another defensive player. If the fielder has made the catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch, the ball shall be adjudged to have been caught. In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional. Okay, they definitely won't win this protest.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) It only makes sense that that should have a protest filed. It's even more ridiculous than that Angels protest. Plus, even if MLB granted them the protest, what would happen? They'd have Konerko do a re-do? Bulls***. Clearly not happening.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:16 PM) I think he was clearly not ready....whatever. What a weird one. Can you imagine the Tigers watching this finish...haha!!!! Yup, this can't be all on Reed. Robin has to be able to put his players in a position to succeed, like all managers, he managed that 9th inning so poorly, I don't even have words to describe it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:14 PM) Mariners going to protest this lol how can they even protest this? Even if the ball was caught, Wise would have scored easily.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) What the hell did I just watch. Craziest ending of the year. You'd think HBPs and wild pitches walk offs would be weird, but we won a sac fly/single. I don't even know how they can score that.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:12 PM) In order to be a catch, don't you have to show it to the umpire if needed? Yes you do. Umps won't reverse a call like that.

Walk off Fridays!

Wow that is the craziest ending alive. LMAO.

lol Hawk broke out of his stretch call to say "TAG!".

Come on Wise, you gotta tag.

It's too bad Jake doesn't get a win today. He pitched well, again. Not much to show for it.

Youk is awesome!!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) Can Youk even bunt? Why bother? They'll just walk Dunn.

Two on, nobody out. Come on Youk!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:01 PM) That umpire not calling strike 3 on that curve to Smoak comes back to haunt us. Yup, I had a thought like that, but never thought it'd come true.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Reed in the playoffs will be really scary.... Let's face it, he clearly wasn't ready to come into the game after the whole team probably took the last 3 innings off. Robin pulled Humber too early. He really should have struck out Smoak on a curveball. Ump just didn't give it to him.

Good job Gordon.

I knew this Seattle team was going to feed off our free passes. You don't give a team that's won 8 in a row any chances.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) He literally doubled on that same high fastball to beat us on that Saturday extra innings game. Our scouring still sucks and A.J. still loves to call fastballs.

I honestly don't understand how bad Robin can be at bullpen usage. It's a 4 run game. There's no f***ing way Veal or Reed should have been in this game.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 10:49 PM) Someone should ask KLaw what he thinks about Sale starting now.... He won't fess up that he was wrong. He'll just state something along the lines of how he will be hurt sooner or later.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 10:11 PM) A few Law gems... Flashback to right after the 2010 draft.... Keith, what are your thoughts on Chris Sale? Klaw (1:25 PM) I ranked him 47th. The White Sox took him 13th. You do the math. In his 'scouting report', Law rated Sale's slider as a '40' on his MLB Draft Grading Scale, with a projected future rating of '45'. A 40 on that scale translates to "Well below-average ability". A 45 is still below average and translates to "11th/12th men on a pitching staff". From a later discussion... Do you like Chris Sale's move to the rotation and where do you see him as a future starter? Klaw (1:35 PM) No, I don't. So this means Courtney Hawkins will most likely suck.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 11:02 AM) too bad alex gordon is bad again. He's nowhere near bad. I'd take him over Viciedo in a heartbeat.
