The Super Terrific MLB Thread - Part 3

[powerhour24]

I can't believe how far this is dragging, ties up on the last day of the season, one game playoff, and now into the 12th inning. Despite a seemingly mediocre baseball season, something this exciting hasn't happened for awhile.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm loving every second of this game, though, it does suck for these teams to use so many pitchers...but they do get a day off.

a seemingly mediocre baseball season

You're either a Mets fan or you've been watching the Pacific Coast League without knowing it.

I hope they go to 25 and blow out the arms of both bullpens.

 

[Got Philk?]

The game was over the minute Julio entered the game...

 

[DaveC]

Geez, talk about blowing it.

Don't think the Rox are gonna get 2 more in the bottom half...

I can finally go to bed!

 

[MrPryck2U]

The Phillies are facing the winner of this game, right?

Right now, the Padres are up 8-6 in the top of the 13th.

 

[phanan]

I guess there was a reason for saving Hoffman.

Yes, the winner plays the Phillies.

 

[No spoken words]

Rockies never say die.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Thanks!

 

[No spoken words]

Fucking chaos, wow. Seriously, I love it.

 

[DaveC]

Yeah, so much for Julio blowing it... all they need now is a sac fly...

Yet another MVP chant

 

[No spoken words]

Good thing you didn't go to sleep.

 

[speedracer]

I guess there was a reason for saving Hoffman.

Yes, the winner plays the Phillies.

Pretty sure this wasn't it though.

 

[Got Philk?]

wow I'm happy I didn't go to bed... I'm just laughing by myself over here.


These playoffs could be very interesting I think.

 

[phanan]

Pretty sure this wasn't it though.

Yeah, pretty sure indeed.

 

[DaveC]

He never touched the plate!!



I'd be flipping balls if I was a Padres fan right now...!

 

[MrPryck2U]

All those saves and Hoffman blows a 2 run lead when it really counts.

 

[No spoken words]

I think he did, actually. The camera angle from behind the plate makes it look like his hand hits Barret's cleat, then passes on over the plate. From the OF camera, it totally looks like he missed it, though.

 

[phanan]

He never touched the plate!!



I'd be flipping balls if I was a Padres fan right now...!

Yeah, his hand never made it.

 

[DaveC]

I really don't think he got the plate...

Would the result stand if they determine he didn't touch??

 

[No spoken words]

Yeah, his hand never made it.

Disagree....the behind the plate angle looks like his hand, after hitting the catcher's cleat touches the plate. If I'm a Padres fan, I'm pissed that my closer got lit up, not some bang-bang call that looks inconclusive, at best, to me.

 

[No spoken words]

I really don't think he got the plate...

Would the result stand if they determine he didn't touch??

There is no determine. It's done.

 

[No spoken words]

Yeah, you know, he did miss it, my bad.

 

[DaveC]

Can San Diego protest the game?

I don't know how you can see that. There's no way it touched the plate.

But you're right - doesn't matter anyway. Their closer blew it.

ETA: Just noticed your latest post...

 

[No spoken words]

Can San Diego protest the game?

No. No more than Colorado cannot protest the HR they might have had robbed from them earlier in the game.

Phanan, see above, I retracted what I said.

 

[DaveC]

Well, it was a shitty end to the game, but bring on the Rockies...Howard's going to feast on the mile-high air.

I'd be shitting bricks right now if I was a Friars fan...wow...

 

[Got Philk?]

Yeah, I think Holliday probably won't remember the slide anyway since his head smashed into the ground. I'm sure he'll be ok though.

That umpire needed to either stick with the no call or do it right away.


maybe he was gambling on this game or something.

 

[BoMac]

maybe he was gambling on this game or something.

It's a sad commentary on the state of sports today when that's the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the umpire hesitate to make the call ( I don't think his hand touched the plate either).

Overall, great game, and while I'm not the biggest baseball fan, I love the playoffs—I try not to miss any games.

 

[Got Philk?]

Sorry...I should have added a at the end...


GO CUBS!
