Dick Allen Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 They changed that rule after a while so it isn't' as ridiculous as it once was. He has to get in the line to catch the ball and Sanchez wasn't there yet anyway. It was the right call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The ball took him into the base path. It was a legal play. He didn't drop the ball either guys. The broadcasters are just spewing biased crap all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the catcher is going to catch a ball that brings him into the base bath ( which it did) and a collision is unavoidable (which it was) , it's all legal. Besides I'd be ashamed to tie the game on some silly rule where the runner was clearly out by 7 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm anxious to see the replay. For only one reason - to see the jump Carlos got off the bat. Baseless hypothesis is that he didn't get a good jump and would have been safe if he was a better base runner. The guy sucks on the base paths.

Yes it used to be just in the baseline. Now you actually have to affect the runner which it didn't, and he has the rightto catch the ball as well. The Sox got burned before they tweaked it a bit. At one time that was illegal. Edited August 14, 2016 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's pretty crazy with that hit which wasn't that hard Sanchez couldn't score with his speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Alright. Watched the replay... 1.) Sanchez had a PATHETIC lead off second when the ball was hit. 2.) He didn't get an aggressive secondary lead and held up a bit on the hit, unsure if it would drop or not. 3.) It was fielded shallow and was an aggressive move to send him home 4.) If Carlos had a more aggressive lead, secondary lead, and flawless read off the bat - he would have scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy sucks on the base paths. In that situation ( 2 outs) Sanchez has to get a huge secondary lead and be moving toward 3rd base even before the crack of the bat while allowing himself enough time to get back on a catchers pick off attempt. As he was approaching 3rd it was pretty obvious if he was sent that a good throw would nail him. Exciting game though and nice hitting by Saladino .

hi8is Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) No one is holding him on and he's like two full strides from the bag as the pitch is being delivered. He's also leaning TOWARDS second base still. Fail. Edited August 14, 2016 by hi8is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's not the call that annoys me, it's the lack of consistency. Either enforce the rule at all times or don't enforce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea. Carlos certainly should have made it a much closer play and it's on him. I think if he had a better lead, better secondary lead, and more aggressive off the bat movement - that it still would have been a close play. Considering Mathis didn't have the ball to well secured, if Carlos does the above -- the ball either hits him or gets knocked lose on the play.

Either enforce the rule at all times or don't enforce it. Just about every play at home plate this year in the games( Sox, Rays Marlins and ESPN) I have watched have all been called correctly. It's the best thing they ever did was changing that rule. Sanchez was out as the way the rule now reads be but he would have been safe 2 years ago which was a joke.

Hasn't won a game since before the All Star break (to be fair thanks in part to his bullpen "friends.") And regarding Sanchez, two outs you are going on the pitch, no excuse for that especially with Miami not holding him close to the bag.

ScootsMcGoots Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 With Cabrera up next, and with Rodney pitching, McEwing should have held him, especially with such a short lead. I mean, it did take a perfect throw to get him but still, i think he should've kept him at 3rd and let Melky hit with bases loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
