A's @ Astros, April...27th, I think
« on: April 27, 2018, 07:28:20 pm »
I'll see if I can recreate...

T1:

Semien strikes out looking
Guy hitting second flies out to shallow CF
Lowrie grounds out 4-3

B1:

Springer strikes out on a weak sort of half swing at a pitch in the dirt
Altuve lines out to LF at the wall
Correa lines out to SS...

Two well struck balls, but nothing to show

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Don't like the way this is shaping up...Astros smacking the ball over the yard, but nothing.  Just keep squaring it up, boys.

Cahna grounds out 6-3 on the first pitch
Piscotty grounds out 5-3
Lucroy...0-2...1-2...2-2...3-2...lines one off of Keuchel...who picks it up and flips to Yuli for the 1-3...hopefully he's OK...looks like it got him in the thigh

No score

Man that was really close at first. Then George tags up at first to get to second on Altuve's sac fly to RF. You don't see that very often.

Point of order:  not a sac fly, just a fly out.

B4:

Springer grounds to SS...throw up the line, Springer slides and avoids...reaches on the TE6
Altuve flies out F9 at the wall on the first pitch...Springer tags and moves to 2B
Correa grounds to 2B, but no one there on the shift...single to RF, Springer comes around to score
Gurriel lines another one deep to RCF but centerfielder runs it down in the gap at the track...two bullets from Yuli, with nothing in his pocket
Bregman...3-0...green light, fouls it back...walks, Correa to 2B
McCann...pitch in the dirt...takes Lucroy like 10 minutes to find it, but no one advances...McCann wiffs at a slider in the dirt...whiffs at a slider in the dirt to make it 1-2...and punches out at a pitch in his eyes...So after walking Bregman, McCann doesn't see a pitch within 3 feet of the plate and punches out to kill a rally.

But the Astros grab a 1-0 lead on the error and Springer's hustle

Geez, that Chapman shot got out in about a tenth of a second.

Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy

Olson flies out F9
Cahna grounds out 5-3

We're tied at 1-1

I laugh whenever people say point of order, I was a General Officer of a union for many years and Standing Orders were strictly applied.  I was reminded a number times that a contradiction, explanation or question does not constitute a 'point of order'.

Reddick bunts...perfectly placed towards 1B as he beats Manaea to the bag
Marisnick...misses a bunt attempt...lines one into the upper deck foul...takes strike three...Poor Jake
Springer chops one up the middle, Manaea throws his glove behind his back and knocks it into CF...Reddick to 3B
Altuve...who's smoked two balls this game...down 1-2 in the count...flies out F8

Still tied 1-1

No, a point of order applies only to the standing orders, the question itself is addressed by speakers for and against (in turn).  Sometimes a cunning old timer would try to get a second bite by raising a 'point of order', which is ok if you get away with it.

And, time for the good guys to do some scoring.

I think that should actually qualify as a Point of Order, because by rule, hanging sliders like that pitch should be crushed 460 feet.

So Orders are the rules of how business is conducted.  Pointing out a breach of the rules or a misapplication of a rule is, by definition, a point of order, no?

They have hit some balls hard, but at 'ems.  Gotta keep at it and hope they fall.

Very deceptive arm angle.  He's what you'd call a "crafty lefthander".

This game is starting to piss me off.
Me too.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

Davis pops out F3
Chapman doubles right over the 3B bag...Correa plays it off the corner and makes it close, but a double
Olson...0-2...1-2...2-2...wild pitch right through the wicket...Chapman to 3B...infield in and a soft liner right out at Correa, but just out of his reach because he was in...Chapman scores...shitfuck
Cahna homers to RF...Olson score
Piscotty grounds out 5-3
Lucroy grounds out 5-3

6-1 A's at the stretch

Man, George just missed that. If he hadn't had to hurry back to wall so fast I think he would have gotten that one.
I was sure he was going to get it.

No. Misapplication of the standing orders, your first sentence nailed it.

I'm still not following you.  Not sure how pointing out that a standing order of business has been applied incorrectly is not a "point of order".  What if I held a piece of paper over my head?

When you say 'point of order', you are saying SD is 'out of order'.  In this case he was not out of order, he was just wrong.  In this thread we are here to talk about Astros' game of the day, we talk about plays, applicable rules and whatever is relevant to the game.  When people start to discuss tyres or accommodation, it would be then that you could say 'point of order motherfucker', we're here to talk about the game (even if we making a mess of it).  Of course there are no formal standing orders for this form (that I have seen anyway) so I was just applying the standard used by the WA Locomotive Drivers' Union for about 100 years.  Reminiscing about the old days has been more fun that watching the game so far today.

So I was referring to the scoring rules, which are defined and codified.  There is no discretion on how to score that play.  Sphinx referring to it as a sac fly is an incorrect application of the scoring rules.  So in reference to that, the scoring rules or "orders", my objection to his application of the sacrifice fly rule is a "point of order", no?

There has been very little fun about this game.  There are monkeys playing around on the front porch.  I guess that's fun.

You corrected SD, and that is fine.
The point is that SD was not 'out of order' when he made the observation., simply incorrect.  If rules discussion were not allowed in this thread, then you both would have been out of order.
Simply put, a contradiction, explanation or question does not constitute a 'point of order'.

My objection was strictly in the context of a scoring decision, not in the overall framework of this forum.  I pointed out that he violated the standing orders of how to score that play.  But I get your point.  I learned parliamentary procedure while in FFA.  We were a little fast and loose down on the farm.

So, watch Animal House again, were ??? rises on a point of parliamentary procedure (point of order) and and figure that what he did is 180 degrees away from what should have happened.

Now I need to do something more constructive with the rest of the day...
