@therealmudddawg@BuschMVP If weโre allowing fielders to make contact with runners being awarded bases, I would certainly build that into my strategy every time it occurs and make sure we are trying to force runners off bases. Definitely an advantage.
@ScoringChanges@frankieferrucci@Cubs@Mets No different than if you advance to second on a walk and before you touch second, the fielder makes contact, knocks you off balance, you briefly touch second, and then come off. The fielder applies tag and you are out. Cannot be a rule.
@ScoringChanges@frankieferrucci@Cubs@Mets Why is the fielder allowed to make contact with a runner before they engage a base that they are guaranteed? Iโd throw down every time in this situation and make contact with the runner and try to force them off the base? This โruleโ is asinine.
@PEARatings@EllisAndrew_ 85 pitches, only 1 day rest, unlikely with Gibler available. He would start the if necessary game most likely and give us what he has in the tank.
