Buehrle>Wood Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 4, 2012 -> 12:44 AM) 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. Nothing gas happened with a protested game since 1986. No chance something comes of this on a call that happened in the first inning.

Cali Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Honestly, when was the last time the other team didn't score right after the Sox scored? I'm sure it was some random game recently, but it feels like WEEKS to MONTHS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlliniKrush Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 07:47 PM) 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. It's hard to say that the throw wasn't partially caused by being outside the lane, as his window to the base to actually hit Pujols is very small at that point. When in doubt, you're taught to call the interference, unless the throw is way, way off. I don't agree with getting rid of the lane - you can't have guys running wherever they want inside the line. Imagine bunts and choppers. You'd never be able to call a runner out for interference. It's really not a crazy of a route as it only kicks in on the last half, and only if it's a play from behind the runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance something comes of this on a call that happened in the first inning. There's rules in place for a reason. I'm sure it's a tough bar to reach, but it doesn't mean it can't happen, eventually it will. Plus, the inning doesn't really have anything to do with it.

It's really not a crazy of a route as it only kicks in on the last half, and only if it's a play from behind the runner. Ripken was showing the route. The bottom line is since the ball didn't hit him and he wasn't in Pujols way, its a judgement call, that right or wrong, went the Sox way. Ripken thinks they should get rid of the lane and every team have the grass go to 15 inches away from the foul line, and just make guys run on the dirt. The foul line is the left border of the lane and the right border with where you are running. If your right foot is the one landing when you are getting to first base, how is that going to work out?

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Long day at work. I thought today would've been perfect for another "blackout" game since Grienke considered the Cell "dark." Nice to see a lead though the scoring fr both teams probably not finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
