I haven't seen rab here since the new millennium

 

I wish I could say that about you

 

 

I'm here M'fers.

He went on a very stupid rant about the slide rule causing players to "embarrass the game".

"What are they supposed to do? Just stop running a tail off so that the game doesn't get taken by the umpires?"

 

I don't know man, maybe they should just SLIDE INTO SECOND BASE INSTEAD OF INTO THE SECOND BASEMAN.

They are running into second base. That's what he's complaining about. It's a clear difference between running into second base and making contact with the second baseman out of happenstance than to intentionally take out the second baseman. Thus far this season everyone is being penalized for simply sliding into the base.

 

 

The new 2B rule stinks

 

 

Rich was also pointing out how teams who weren't even going for a double play are being awarded double plays because of the way the rule is written. Batters are beating out plays to first and are being called out. that's horrible.

Yeah and it'll be changed soon I think

 

 

Unless I'm mistaken, they have been penalized in situations where they didn't slide into the base. I'm an Astros fan so I watched as Rasmus made zero attempt to actually touch the bag. 

 

Batista also made zero attempt to touch the bag earlier in the week.

 

These guys are trying to break up the double play, not reach base safely. I've never understood why it's alright to take out guys at some bases (2nd and home) and not others (1st and 3rd). It's completely nonsensical.

 

 

Nice!  JT having a nice game behind the plate.

 

 

atta boy JT

I love JT

 

 

Breaking up a double play has always been legal but there's ways to do it without killing the position player. If they wanna go ahead and make breaking up a double play illegal than go for it but as of now that's not illegal.

that sounds pornographic

Marlin fuckers??

 

 

Good game thus far but let's go score some runs. Vince is there guys, not sure if y'all new that.

Have you always been an Astros fan, or did Loria's antics push you away?

 

 

Giancarlo. Cruz. Michael. Herbie. Stanton.

Did Vince explain C.O.L. to the players before the game?

I've been an Astros fan since before I can remember. I just also became a Marlins fan in '93 when they came to being (and I moved to Miami in March '93)

 

 

Need runs.  Koehler implosion imminent

 

 

it's pretty empty for  a projected division winner team

 

 

Great inning by TK!

 

 

Tommy K baby!
