    Now that this rule is out and known known. I am all about the fans taking a more active role.  Take the glove right off the players hand, smack the ball out of it.  Do what you gotta do!  When the ball is out of play that is.

  • When are the home fans going to realize that you have to get out of the way?  Crazy.  Tough to say Betts would not have made that catch but that clearly was a homer if he had been able to try w/o fans interfering and he did not make the catch.
    Tough pill to swallow for Astros fans, I am sure.

    Some really good plays made in the game.
    When are people going to realize the fans don't have to get out of the way?  If the ball is out of the field of play, it's as much the fans' as any fielder's.  A player cannot leave the field of play in attempt to make a catch (only if momentum carries them once the attempt is made).  He can reach out of play for the ball, but it can't be interference at that point.

    That picture of Betts from behind isn't convincing because of the angle. The ball also touched the fans hand AFTER Betts' glove closed and rebounded off it. The picture in front isn't convincing at all.

    Also, the whole "enough evidence to overturn" stipulation is and always has been dumb.  If you're going to replay, you're obviously unsure of the call on the field in the first place, that instrinsically means the call is doubtful in the first place and the call on the field should be void at that point.  The point of replay should be to get the call right, not "is it enough evidence to overturn?"
    That is why it IS convincing...

    The guy with the tattoo's elbow is at the plane of the wall.

    His hand is in front of his elbow.

    Betts' glove is in front of his elbow.

    I work with angles and view points all the time so I will see it differently than others.

    Astros are not playing well enough to win these games regardless of that call. Red Sox overcame a missed call/replay in Game 3(that cost the Red Sox 1 or 2 runs) and the Astros did not in Game 4. Hinch said so himself. Astros aren't pitching well enough , so far.  Astros relief pitching with too  many walks/HBP, and pass balls by the Astros catcher/s. And, the Red Sox are scoring plenty of runs.

    Don't like the Dodgers but not sure i want the Brewers in the WS. I'm afraid that too many teams will play the game they are, with their pitching. Why didn't Counsel walk the bases loaded in the extra inning game, instead of pitching to Bellinger? I think he should've walked him and the next batter , and loaded the bases, as the pitcher's spot was next and the Dodgers had NO one to pinch hit as they used up all of their players. LA would've had no choice but to have a pitcher hit their.

    The strike 3 to Bregman was 10 times more a ball than the 0-2 to Martinez

    Interesting how you ignore Betts, Benintendi, Bogaerts, Bradley, Devers, Holt, Vazquez and others as home grown talent though to skew your lame argument.

    And your Giants are fielding a 25 man roster of all SF draftees, right?  What a coup when they drafted Evan Longoria, Derek Holland, Hunter Pence, Will Smith, Jeff Samardizja, Gorkys Hernandez and Nick Hundley all in a 2 year span.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Bummed that the Astros season is over. I think they’ll come back hungry and healthy next year, but it’ll be interesting to see who they re-sign and who they pick up. Good luck to the remaining teams.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Well that's an ongoing problem with the Red Sox for over 30 years.
    They suck at developing pitching.
    Lester is about the only one and they let him get away.
    Barnes, Workman and B Johnson are the only pitchers on the roster that were drafted.

    How the fuck is Kratz a starting catcher on a good team?

    The brewers do that with their bullpen and they just send a pitcher to have his first mlb at bat with the bases loaded and 2 outs in game 6. Dodgers gotta come back 
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,840
    Lol what....70 something pitchers in a 6 game series?

    well, the WS teams relied on lincecum, cain, bum, voglesong and no name “closers”.....I knew your position players were mostly homegrown.

    and those guys you mention all play on the current, suckass giants.

    You don't know the Kratz story?  He is the ultimate underdog and a good story!
