Astros @ Rockies, July 25
« on: July 25, 2018, 08:46:04 pm »
Astros take a 2-1 lead in the 4th, but they butchered that catcher’s interference ruling. It’s not a dead ball. The Astros could have elected to take the play and scored the run there. Altuve did not have to go back to 3B. He scored the next hitter anyway, but that could have been a huge boner by Hinch.
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.

Just “discomfort” is the word now. Don’t know if it was anything specific. He wasn’t exactly on his horse on the double that should have been a triple.

I think it happened some time ago, and it's just been building. When Altuve didn't get to third on that ball in the RF gap, I think AJ decided he was going to give him some rest and hope that with the off day tomorrow he'll be feeling better Friday.

Good question. If the dude has a Rockies shirt, it’s likely a double and the Rockies’ fans are saying “kick that motherfucker out.”

Kick him out, send Bregman back to second, whatever - seems strange that fan interference is a massive boon for the home team on a very questionable catch opportunity

It has nothing to do with the home team. If a fan prevents a fielder from an opportunity to catch a fly ball, the batter is out, whether it’s the home team or road team.

Wow. They fucked up the replay on the stolen base by Tucker. Call should have been confirmed, let alone upheld. But overturned?  Are they smoking crack in NY?

Probably pleading his case for some form of interference that would give everyone 90 more feet.

I don't know what the actual rule is, but I can't recall a play at the dugout fence that players haven't helped keep their guy (and sometimes even the other team) from going head first over the fence.

If the runner had been thrown out, I could see him arguing that Davis was aided by players not on the field. But this was pretty much the definition of "no harm, no foul".

Probably pleading his case for some form of interference that would give everyone 90 more feet.

I don't know what the actual rule is, but I can't recall a play at the dugout fence that players haven't helped keep their guy (and sometimes even the other team) from going head first over the fence.

I suspect something along these lines.

Looked to me like he hurt his hip/abs - probably some pain on that throw that caused him to flinch.

Replay showed Gattis didn't realize the runner was going.  He played JD on the side and was still in his airspace as he threw home.

Blum had the same question I did: if Davis tumbles into the dugout,  do all the runners get 90 feet?

Yes.
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.

That fuckwad fan interference really sucked the wind out of the Astro Offense's sails.

that's the 3rd x this season Fan Interference has effected an Astros game. The two previously at MMP.  (1) fan catching a FB from Piscotty of the A's that Stassi hit. (2) Kemp's double down the RF line that kept a second run from scoring. The one where the wife chewed the dumbass out before the usher removed him.

imho: The last thing the Astros need right now is for Bergman to get suspended for pulling a "Giles", leaving the Astros without one of their best hitters any time, but especially during the offensive struggles. 

Fan interference and bad calls happen, and are out of a player's control.  But, for the sake of the team, Berkman Bergman (TY, BUDGIRL for the edit) needs to control his emotions as well as he controls the strike zone.  He needs to protect his at bats and take his swings.  He is worthless on the bench.

That's exactly  where the other AL contenders want him.

Rule 3.16
When there is spectator interference with any thrown or batted ball, the ball shall be dead at the moment of interference and the umpire shall impose such penalties as in his opinion will nullify the act of interference.

APPROVED RULING: If spectator interference clearly prevents a fielder from catching a fly ball, the umpire shall declare the batter out.

Rule 3.16 Comment: There is a difference between a ball which has been thrown or batted into the stands, touching a spectator thereby being out of play even though it rebounds onto the field and a spectator going onto the field or reaching over, under or through a barrier and touching a ball in play or touching or otherwise interfering with a player. In the latter case it is clearly intentional and shall be dealt with as intentional interference as in Rule 3.15. Batter and runners shall be placed where in the umpire’s judgment they would have been had the interference not occurred.

They went 8 innings Tuesday without a hit,  and managed 1 official hit last night.   With Arlington coming to town, let's hope we see some barrels on balls from the home team.

And eventually a healthy Correa should help.

I thought his behavior on the field was pretty cool, all things considered. The bullshit check swing call was questionable at best, and the 1st and 3rd base umps had been pretty brutal all game. Bregman was already on his way to the dugout when Hinch came out to get him.

His post-game interview rant, on the other hand, the world probably could've done without.

Wow. They fucked up the replay on the stolen base by Tucker. Call should have been confirmed, let alone upheld. But overturned?  Are they smoking crack in NY?

Even worse call in the TB game tonight I think, I don't remember them taking so long on such an easy call and still fuck it up.  Choi had a what looked like a home run taken away because of fan interference, it was a horrible call I think.  I don't blame the umps for not getting right in the first place but why use replays if you get it wrong in the end anyway?
