@SwannySparkles @IlliniJen Yep, and those are governors… not mayors. Answer the question that was asked.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@jcyofrelief @chadmumm 9-point is the best game out there, 3-man or otherwise. What more could you want??? No mess, no fuss, less pencil lead… it’s perfect. Throw in a putting game and some greenies if you really need the action.

@EdNeanderthal @FoulTerritoryTV Cocky ret… what? It’s not like he goes around calling himself Dr. Crow Armstrong, cause that’d be cocky. And a little less ironic.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@WittyChase @BleacherNation @jacobzanolla It’s the absolute wrong call. It should have been ruled obstruction since the fielder caused the runner to diviate from their original path to the base.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@GodFaja6891 @FoulTerritoryTV The only time a ball four is a dead ball is if it also hits the batter.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@GodFaja6891 @FoulTerritoryTV Ball 4 is a live ball. I was using wild pitch as one example for why it is not. If it was a dead ball, then the out call would not have been possible because a dead ball doesn’t become a live ball again until the ump gives the pitcher the ok to throw the next pitch.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@GodFaja6891 @FoulTerritoryTV Tell me you don’t know the rules without saying you don’t know the rules.

So you are saying a wild pitch ball 4 is a dead ball? It’s a live ball, guy.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@Howler1961 @FoulTerritoryTV WRONG!!! It should have been ruled a delayed dead ball, obstruction call after the play is concluded. The fielder did not provide the runner clear/free access to an entitled base during a live ball play.

Better luck with your rules interp next time, don’t fret, mlb umps failed 2

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@BrianMc24510525 @FoulTerritoryTV Exactly, which is why it’s horrible that the umps then failed to apply the obstruction rule. They got it wrong.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@OldWisdom44 @FoulTerritoryTV Ball four is still a live ball. Think of it in terms of a ball four wild pitch… the play keeps going.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@Kevin_Hitt @FoulTerritoryTV Absolutely wrong. Correct call would have been obstruction since the fielder caused the runner to deviate from his original path to the base. It’s a delay dead ball, PCA should have been ruled safe once the play reaches conclusion. Easy to see what’s simple here…

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@NobodyToobie @FoulTerritoryTV And that obstruction then makes it a delayed dead ball call, pending the plays completed outcome. Can’t believe mlb umps missed that one.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@EdNeanderthal @FoulTerritoryTV This isn’t a high school field, it’s a major league ball part. That runner cannot hear his coach on that play.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@JoeyHJohnson2 @FoulTerritoryTV Since it’s still a live ball, the correct call would have actually been obstruction since access to the bag caused the runner to deviate his original path.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@GodFaja6891 @FoulTerritoryTV Ball four is still a live ball

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@FoulTerritoryTV @CarlsBeef It is still a live ball. The fielder should have been called for Obstruction by not allowing Pete free access to the bag. The umps failed to fully apply the rule book, which is a total failure at the top professional level.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@stoolpresidente Horrible take. Ref has to make that call. Bad coaching telling kid to miss on purpose… Make the free throw, go up three, and take your risk on a worse scenario tie game.

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@670TheScore @DavidHaugh Why are you so committed to protecting one side of this deal? Timing is horrible on Warren’s part, no doubt. But the bigger issue you won’t talk about is City Hall and Springfield putting everyone into this mess with its poor management too. Can you acknowledge that too?

[James Collins @jamesbcollins]

@DavidHaugh A bad point, but sure, it’s a point.
