and yet his catcher didn't think it was even close as evidenced by the fact he jerked up on it significantly.

I pay attention to where it crosses the plate, not what the catcher does to it after he caught it.

so did I on the pitch but looked at the replay and he obviously thought it was a ball. Pretty hard to convince a umpire it's a strike on a close pitch when you aren't conviced yourself. I was watching the Brewer broadcast at the time on MLB and they even thought it was a ball. It's kinda irrelevent as the guy couldn't find the strike zone if he tried.

Catchers sometimes suffer from trying to make good pitches look great. Sometimes their pitchers get burned by late frames.

It was a strike. But I think Dude Love probably is on the right path.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

Why didn't span get credited with a hit on that play fielder made to the plate? No error was given.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

Span got tossed for arguing as much as Bush, did he not?
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

ok, wikipedia answered the question. I didn't realize the language of the rule gave a fielder's choice for plays that don't result in an out.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

Screw veterans, we just need to keep bringing up prospects and throwing them away after one game (single use players a la fight club)
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

I hope Gomez gets one in the small of the back today.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

There are dozens of scalpers out every game so not hard. I doubt it will be too pricey either.

What exactly did GoGo do that has everyone in such a tizzy?

dx,

Don't you do scoring when you go to the games...how coulld you never know the FC rule ;) :p

I do. :o :o I always thought it had to end with an out. whatever. The situation rarely comes up where a FC doesn't end in an out.
