I’m not a fan of public humiliation but I’d have yanked him right there. Wondering if the Cubs let that drop on purpose to see if they could find a dope? But I love the way he goes back on a pop fly and the RF’s know it and defer to him. Sit him down next game. I didn't see the ump's hand go up until the ball hit the ground, which was ludicrous. The ump should have called the IFR with the ball in the air. Dude was trying to keep out of a double play due to umpire error. If he made it to 3rd safely, we'd all be talking about the heads up baserunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The umpire’s hand was up in plenty of time IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodger Stadium parking is just bad if not worse considering home games are always sold out. Everything crammed into a ravine. The fan experience is better when you have some of the best teams and players in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the f*** do you make it 9 years and still not know the infield fly rule as a professional athlete? What the f*** are these kids being taught? Good question. Fundamentals are an unknown word around the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 From Paul Sullivan's column Sunday night: Worst baserunning. Lenyn Sosa, take a bow. Sosa was thrown out at third Sunday after Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner baited him by letting an infield fly rule popup drop. Instead of staying put, Sosa gets nailed at third, squelching a potential rally. “Not a real good baserunning play by Sosa,” CHSN’s Steve Stone says in obvious disgust. “A little bit of a mental error there where he didn’t see the call being made,” Venable said, adding “we have to look ourselves in the mirror and figure out a better way to coach that.” Sosa might also need to look in a mirror.
