July 17, 200818 yr OMG, this totally made my day! This is seriously my FAVORITE "Miggy as a Marlin" moment. It even tops his WS homer off Clemens, IMO (by a thread). I just remember watching this from my apartment in college a few summers ago. I was falling asleep watching it, and then, BOOM! Miggs hit that intentional ball and I went nuts. That moment, to me, is the epitome of what I love about Miggy, the Marlins, and baseball in general. It was so heads-up and just pure awesomeness. I've been searching for this clip forever, so thanks for sharing it!

July 17, 200818 yr The opposite to that was Johnny bench for the Reds, they had a full count on a batter and decided to walk him, bench stand and give the walk sign with his hand stretch out and just before the pitch was release he jump back behind the plate and the pitcher throw a strike and the batter was still standing with the bat on his shoulder.
July 17, 200818 yr makes an out = hate him does what he does = an amazing play that makes you love baseball
July 17, 200818 yr That was one of the greatest game that I have ever seen. I believe Helms and Borchard went back to back to tie it up in the ninth.
July 17, 200818 yr good sh*t man that was funny when i saw it wat happend to the pitcher didnt he get demoted to like A

Pretty sure he got away with breaking a rule there.

Pretty sure he got away with breaking a rule there. I'd have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure as long as he remained behind the plate, whether standing or crouching, he was within the rules

Well, the catcher was within the rules as long as this was done: 4.03 (a) The catcher shall station himself directly back of the plate. He may leave his position at any time to catch a pitch or make a play except that when the batter is being given an intentional base on balls, the catcher must stand with both feet within the lines of the catcher’s box until the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand. So, given, like I said, he was behind the plate and suddenly crouched down, as opposed to hopping out and then hopping back in, it was copacetic

July 18, 200818 yr Last year. I still have that game on TiVo. Wasn't this in 2006 ? The Girardi year ?
