Is there an award to give a player after they're the comeback player of the year and the totally go to s*** again the next? -
I just re-read the rule, a tie would go to the runner as the rule states and the runner or 1b must be tagged by the fielder before the runner hits first base. So, if they both there at the same time, the runner cannot be out.
-
Even if it was a tie, the runner should be out. The rule says the runner has to beat the ball to first. Technically, a tie goes to the defense.
-
Hate that myth of the tie going to the runner... It's not true
-
Surprised Rivera didn't send Encarnacion there to be thrown out by 20 feet. Nice rip by Lawrie
-
What wat? That's the rule
-
It's something where the intent is good, but the execution and implementation went wrong....
-
By the letter of the rule, it was legal. Catcher had to move to where he was to catch the ball, and prior to catching the ball, the runner did have a path to the plate (his foot was sort of in the path, but ...). As soon as Sanchez had possession of the ball he can move Into the base runners path if he chooses(which he did). At that point the runner is within his rights to run him over if he wants to. If Sanchez had decided to stay where he was when he caught the ball, the runner would have to avoid contact and slide in to home or just run across.

And it's a Tuesday.

Yup, and screw these new small stadiums. Should go back to the days where the fences were 500 feet away.
-
I don't. It's like watching retards try to hump a doorknob
-
Rivera has been absolutely awful with sending runners this year.
-
They've got nothing in the minors for Of prospects, they may as well take a flyer on a guy who had even minor success over a tiny time frame in mlb already.
-
No risk for a team claiming him, he either continues to suck and they do the same thing the jays did, or they might get a few weeks of use out of him while a guy is in the DL.
-
Pretty sure we just let him have him, something would have been announced by now if there was anything coming back
-
Hmmmm.... Colby will go yard here, I can feel it
-
Well that didn't work out.... Lawrie will go yard here, I can feel it
-
Edwin's going yard here, I can feel it.
-
If they pull him off waivers I'm pretty sure they have to put him back on the roster. They can't just keep running down the list just to keep the player. Once they've made the choice to place him on waivers and he's claimed, only one of three things can happen. He gets traded for something, he gets taken off waivers and placed back on the roster, or they don't work out a trade and just let him go to the claiming team go nothing.

First pitch has been served. Picking locked for tonight.
-
Yup, Zaun R a jeenyus
-
I see what you're saying, but that was AA's intent the entire time to keep waiting and waiting. When you play the waiting game with FAs, you can't tell them they only have a short time to sign after the offer when you've waited the entire offseason to even make an offer. It holds no weight.
-
It's not quite that simple. From all reports, Santana had already agreed to sign with the Jays and was practically at the airport to go take his physical when Medlen got hurt and the Braves jumped in and offered basically the same deal that he immediately jumped at and left the Jays hanging. It tells me Santana had literally no other offers except for the Jays and he really didn't want to be there.
