Yes

AL triggered beyond belief watching a game where pitchers have driven in 3 runs.

He's usually pretty good.
Tends to rush sometimes though.

I can't believe MLB doesn't have an English TV broadcast in Canada for tonight's game.

Oh well, les enfants are enjoying Zootopia on the big screen.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

God damnit.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Awesome replay MLB.

Get rid of this fucking horseshit

 

[reggieandTFE]

That's a bad call. You can't see his right hip and the tag came off him!

 

[Windu]

Bob, quit complaining.

Players need to learn to slide better.

 

[Corran Horn]

Maybe he should have ran the whole way

[Velcro Fly]

It isn't the intended use of replay though. It isn't like the throw beat him and he got called safe so they could overturn it. He slid, got hit, and came off the base. The guy at second didn't even hold the tag on him either.

 

[Windu]

I might be the only person who doesn't hate the replay rule. If you are not touching the bag and get tagged, you are out. This isn't hard.

Just because we didn't have technology to see close plays before doesn't mean we should revolt against what is a rulebook-correct call.

Rather than bitching about replay, why don't we expect players to do a better job at sliding so they maintain contact with the base?

amen.

uhh the intended use of replay is to get the call right. he came off the bag, the tag was on him. he was out.

baseball players are skilled enough to slide without coming off the bag.

 

[ProjectPick]

I like the old school "run harder" guys cheering replay though. Bit of irony there.

 

[Raziel]

I thought the purpose of replay was to get the call right.

 

[Corran Horn]

Used replay to get call right. Thats all I care about replay. Dont give a crap for what its intended use is. This is playoff baseball, every out matters.

 

[StoveOven]

Wait? What's even the argument against that call? He was clearly out

if only....

 

[billeh]

The home run replay earlier was kinda BS, this .. seems alright to me.

Hustle to second though, and slide with your feet.

 

[ProjectPick]

Wait? What's even the argument against that call? He was clearly out

Argument is Baez got to the base before the tag. Which generally is the goal in baseball. But thanks to slow mo replays we can see he was off the base for a fraction of a second.

Similar to nfl reviewing catches everything comes down to insane minutia. Instead of spirit of the rules and game.

 

[Windu]

players just need to learn how to properly slide.

 

[Corran Horn]

Please...Post the actual photo...not this photoshopped crapped

Here is the true photo...as you can see...safe.

This. And keep your hands, your foot or your leg on the mat.

lol, well clearly the Giants 2010 championship should be taken away since Posey has super powers.

 

[Sanjuro]

Why did that cunt throw his beer?

Was he trying to simulate his own intoxicated Bartman?

Sure, but it was also a bad slide. Sliding is a part of the game, and we shouldn't undermine that by saying "Well, at least he beat the throw".

trying to water the outfield grass

That water is like $10!

Probably got lost on his way back to Toronto.

Bob Costas shitting on Bryzzo lol

It was a bit of a late slide but he was over the bag the entire time. He lost contact for a tiny amount of time. He didn't overslide or try a trick wide slide.

By rule he's out. But watching that all full speed I think 99% of any watching will call him safe. Since we can't see that small second he lost contact.

I just hate that MLB will go to that detail but we still have highly subjective strike zones.

Well, we can at least agree on that last point

ding ding ding

aka, slide better.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Baez has injured himself multiple times with headfirst slides. So he does have to slide better.

 

[ProjectPick]

Well, we can at least agree on that last point

Yeah we're arguing about a random out in the middle innings. When game is dictated by what one person decides what is a ball or strike. And that is often less than how much Baez left the base.

 

[Windu]

yeah ball and strikes are the main problem with the game. can't wait until robot umpires.

and then the inevitable uprising that will occur. RIP Human Civilization, but i think its a good tradeoff.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Nice pitch Rondon.

Looked sharp getting Posey and Pence to end the inning.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Good shit Hector.
