chw42 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) 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.

Nobody on either side of that call wants it enforced that way. That's a rule that should be looked at immediately and changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 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.
