OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: To Hollywood; Sans A Star

[bathroomSTAAL]

He blocked the plate. If you ever call this rule, call it now.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Seriously. I hate that rule, but it's there and he was blocking the plate.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Has to be blocking the plate.

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

**** off MLB. ****. Off.

 

[FlightlessBird]

Are you kidding me?!?!?!

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Joke league

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

****ing ********

 

[Pete Gas]

If ya ain't Chicago, ya ain't nobody,

 

[Coastal Kev]

Well that sucked

 

[Cherpak]

Get rid of that bogus rule. Even when its obvious they won't call it.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Wow.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Big Market gets the call. Surprise

 

[TNT87]

Good thing they have replay. What a ****ing joke.

 

[bambamcam4ever]

What a ****ing joke. ****ing Cubs are given every break and still haven't won in a century

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Also, upon replay, what's up with florimon with the non-existant lead off 3rd?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Major League Baseball, ladies and gentlemen.

That's the clearest example of that stupid rule since it was implemented...seems only natural we had the most egregious ruling against (on a force play last year) and now the most egregious non-ruling this time.

 

[FlightlessBird]

What the ****, Harrison?

Pedro probably would have been out anyway, but still.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Jesus....

 

[bathroomSTAAL]

Well that kind of sucked but great baserunning by Pedro

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Yeah, last year Martin got called for having his foot on the plate on a force play. Now Montero is lying in front of the plate and it's not worthy of a call.

The Bucs get screwed over so much. MLB bias for large markets is ridiculous. They even have made rules to make things tougher on the small market teams.

 

[Penguins23]

Wow why would the second baseman not try for 2 there? lol

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Wow why would the second baseman not try for 2 there? lol

There's no way they would have turned 2 on Polanco on a slow roller like that.

Better win next inning, Hurdle now has Florimon and Stewart in the batting order. Pinch runners suck sometimes.

 

[Cherpak]

Wow why would the second baseman not try for 2 there? lol

Only thing I can figure is it wasn't a hard hit ball and he felt he had little chance to double up someone as fast as Polanco.

 

[Coastal Kev]

Wait. How did we score there. It was a double play.... Am I too drunk?

 

[Cherpak]

Runner on third (Rodriguez) crossed the plate before Harrison was tagged for the 3rd out.
