A.J. is on fire!

Not fair, its too dark in the stadium

AJ gets plunked next AB

The Dark Cell Rises Greinke !!!!!

 

ATTA BOY AJ!!!

It's good to be at home coming off a day off.

i guess greinke really doesnt like us cellular

I remember when Greinke gave up 8 runs in the first against us back in 08.

4-1 Sox thru 1...........................Humber hold them down.

Put one in the seats aj

"Will do, Buehrle>Wood"

So is this game under protest? Could someone briefly express what exactly happens (like the rulings that takes place, etc)

Someone make a Dark Side of the Cell photoshop quick!

Tuned in just in time to see AJ blast, gotta keep em here Philip.

A.J. is on fire!

 

He has more HR than Prince Fielder.

 

And that's why this game is protested...just cost the Angels 3 runs. Depending on the result, and what exactly was explained to him, something could come of it. If it's a judgment call (which can't be protested anyway), then nothing. It depends what the explanation/interpretation of the rule was.

 

Wow. Trout.

Holy s*** that was a rocket.

Good job Humber...

Geezus......Trout.

 

Don't the Angels have a Salmon already in their Hall of Fame?

This staff just continues to give up runs immediately after we score.

Wow that was demolished

Looks like Humber's just going to alternate between good and bad starts.

f***in' Trout is a badass.

Thats what happens when you walk the 9th place hitter

If I could be anyone in the world I would be Mike Trout.

Yeah, he was well outside the running line (so think inside the line). The throw went from C to 1B. On a play like that, the rule is you have to have both feet in the running lane. It does not matter if the ball hits you or not.

 

Angels officially protesting the game. HP umpire messed this up bad, it was such an easy call. It's not like one foot was barely outside and they may have missed it.

Since the ball didn't hit him, its the umpire's discretion whether or not his being outside the lane caused the bad throw. If the umpire just thinks the catcher made a bad throw, then interference isn't called. If the ball hit him or he interfered with the first baseman catching the ball or the umpire believes his position was the cause of the bad throw, then interference is called.

 

I can see where you could make an argument the throw was bad because of where Paulie was, you can also see the catcher just making a bad throw. Billy Ripken was actually going over this rule a couple of nights ago and he thinks they should get rid of the lane. If you're running in the lane, especially from the right side of the batter's box its a crazy route, and really you can't run a straight line unless you hit first base with you left foot.

 

The protest will be denied.
