and crap overturn costs a run...

There's that warning track power from Delmonico.

As we were saying about Delmonico

Why wouldn't the tie go to the baserunner? 

Contrary to what others are saying on the board, and to popular belief, tie does not go to the baserunner. The rulebook says the runner needs to beat the throw in order for the runner to be safe. In my opinion, Moncada didn't beat it, looked like a tie to me. So I think they got the call right. But what do I know.

Why are Palka and Leury sitting against a RHP?

Thompson's had success against Wacha with the Dodgers?

Because Adam Engel MUST play every day!

Yeah...I really really hope we start setting Engel on the bench as a late inning defensive replacement or pinch runner soon.

I am an umpire for Little League. The coach told me that ties go to the runner. I said the batter has to beat the throw to first because there are no such thing as ties. Who is right?
-- L.M.F.

McClelland: That is exactly right. There are no ties and there is no rule that says the tie goes to the runner. But the rule book does say that the runner must beat the ball to first base, and so if he doesn't beat the ball, then he is out. So you have to make the decision. That's why umpires are paid the money they are, to make the decision on if he did or if he didn't. The only thing you can do is go by whether or not he beat the ball. If he did, then he is safe.

 

 

Ha, nice job Trayce.

Failure of a bunt doesnt matter too much

Why would you pitch to Moncada? Horrible managing. 

Atta boy Moncada. 

We'll  take it!

Excited to see Yoan hitting .400 with 40 home runs by September.

Timmy isn't that dangerous to be swinging at 3-0.

I don't mind it in general but Wacha has a hard time throwing strikes and you're close to getting him out of there so I'd much rather he take.

He is. I think maybe 10th row thurs base side? But it was hard to tell.

One thing I know from many years here, statements like this are almost always correct. I only checked because as an English teacher I enjoy the linguistics. They could right the throw has to beat the runner, which would have one meaning, but they wrote the runner has to beat the throw. Edge to defense, which surprises me.

I'm on the 3rd base side, 2 rows past the Sox dugout lol

Hoping to start a streak, that Cardinals team almost got no hit against a guy making his 1st start...all I heard was my bro b****ing.?  Would love for him to freak out with Shields shutting them down haha
