@dickow_brian@coachball2709@Seth_3773 It wasn’t a cross up. It would have been way worse if it was. Rushing is still developing and is not a polished receiver.
@wilberdata If they were pinch hitting for Devers I would agree, but they were pinch running for him. He’s one of their worst baserunners. Miz is their ace. It would be more comparable if Miz was their worst pitcher and fighting to keep the coach from bringing in their closer.
@RealHellmueller@thekapman@ivychat@xjhoodespn I agree. Also the only way PCA left the bag was due to the fielders tag preventing his left hand from getting to the base. Which he is entitled to. If he slid past like in the old video he is fair game.
@mosaic78@aPROballplayer But the runner only came off the base because the fielder prevented his hand from getting to the base. Not the same as your example, the runner didn’t come off the bag under their own power.
@FredFarkle20@TheConnorPils The tag actually kept him from getting his left hand to the bag. It was ball four. Is the fielder allowed to stop the runner or batter from getting to the next base on a walked?
@csus_baseball It’s not sad. These young men have earned that opportunity and are playing for a national championship. You throw your best guys that have earned that opportunity.
@SST185@ChrisDokish No he doesn’t. Learn the rules. Plus there are 4 umpires on the field. Luckily they came to the right decision when they got together. Kicking the glove of a fielder and causing the bobble is exactly why this rule exists.
@dlgump@KodyDuncanPGH Maybe it’s your expectations that are off. Repeating a Cy Young year is not easy especially for a 24 year old on a crappy team. The offensive strategy against him is also changing and they are trying to get his pitch count up to get to the bullpen.
@WilliamTyberius@BobGreenburg Not sure how you say that because the runner kicking the glove is what caused the bobble. Fielder has the right to the ball. Clear interference
@ChuckSneedler@PreacH0921@searlebaseball You can’t say clearly because relay is not a routine play. Fielders throw home sucked, why do you assume a throw to third would be any better. Even with a bad throw to third or a bobble it’s still a triple.
