CentralChamps21 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 So to me there are two questions to that play. The first is whether or not the rule was applied correctly, and the second is whether or not the rule is reasonable. It does seem to me that the rule was applied correctly. I don't agree that the throw "clearly" beat the runner as the runner had started his dive by the time the ball was in the glove. It's also clear that the runner was angling for the foul side of the plate and that's the side where the catcher set up. The runner had to change his path to avoid a collision. As to whether the rule is reasonable, I think not. I don't think that kind of play should be considered a violation, although I don't know how you tweak the rule to fix that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If the White Sox are involved, screw the other team." It can be in fine print if they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony and Uncle Joe should be our designated pinch runners 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Bruce Bochey is doing the job LaRussa was supposed to do but he is not looking very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
