April 15, 201412 yr This new rule where you have to have a clean transfer to the throwing hand on a force out is ridiculous. Arencibia just caught a ball on a force at home, but bobbled the transfer (he clearly caught the ball) and they called the runner safe at home. The runner was nowhere near home plate. Instant replay was supposed to make sure the close plays were called correctly. Not stupid crap like that. Edited April 15, 201412 yr by chw42

Nobody on either side of that call wants it enforced that way. That's a rule that should be looked at immediately and changed.

April 16, 201412 yr isnt it abnormal for a GM to mention contract offer number specifics when asked about negotiations? When i first read your post, i figured the number was leaked, not that Jack Z actually said that was the declined offer in an interview.

Just waiting for the thread saying the Sox should have kept Buehrle instead of signing Paulino. You know it's coming.
