@evinh111 @notgaetti Ground ball. Wild throw pulls the first baseman off the bag toward home plate. Only chance is to tag the batter-runner on the way by. Batter runner avoids the tag by sliding into foul territory and touching the safety base.

@nutting_hostage @notgaetti Only mentioned pickoffs as an example of a non-force play at first. The diving play was not a pickoff. It was the batter running out a grounder.

@nutting_hostage @notgaetti Absolutely changes the tag play on a wild throw. Saw a batter-runner avoid a tag by diving for the safety bag in a college game last week. If he’d needed to touch the real base he would’ve been tagged out.

@kebzach It actually does. Watched a college game about a week ago. Poor throw so the first baseman had to go for the tag. Batter-runner dove for the base and was only able to avoid the tag because he could dive into foul territory for the safety bag.

@realbenmcdonald @Orioles Enjoying your college calls, but don’t let Ryan Ripken put you out of a job!

@nut_history Top 10 is tough. There have been so many great pitchers. Most strikeouts of all time. SEVEN no-hitters. Possibly the hardest fastball the game has ever seen. Amazing longevity from facing Willie Mays to Ken Griffey, Jr. He has an argument for sure.

@czabe Only for those unworthy to understand baseball. Sadly, that is most people.

@masnRoch If we were going to DFA a lefty, I would have chosen Akin rather than Enns.

[Michael Haslup @MikeHaslup]

@ryanripkenshow Honestly have no idea. Many. Many, many.

[Michael Haslup @MikeHaslup]

@nut_history It *used to be* part of the game. It’s been against the rules for some time now. Catchers today grown up in a game where this is not permitted, so they’re not ready for it and that makes it even more dangerous. Baserunner should be called out and ejected.

@BillyTinkle No clue, but the Redskins will be 4-1.

[Michael Haslup @MikeHaslup]

@notgaetti Clark should obviously be in.

@ScottTurner Absolute baller. The reason we click on the TV.

[Michael Haslup @MikeHaslup]

@ryanripkenshow Looked very familiar and encouraging.

@Super70sSports Why is it perfect somehow? Nobody needs a polished modern concrete logo.

@ShooterMcGavin The Game is an underrated movie
