He tried, unsuccessfully, to plow the catcher with a big lead and totally missed home plate, and was called out when Pudge grabbed him and threw him back towards home.
You forgot to add that Nyjer missed home plate because the catcher was two feet in front of the plate and the throw never got to the plate.
As he needed to be! He couldn't block the plate without the ball! (you know that, Nyjer didn't).
What the heck are you talking about?. .
Rule 7.06b:7.06 When obstruction occurs, the umpire shall call or signal “Obstruction.”If no play is being made on the obstructed runner, the play shall proceed until nofurther action is possible. The umpire shall then call “Time” and impose suchpenalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction.Rule 7.06(b) Comment: Under 7.06(b) when the ball is not dead on obstruction and an obstructed runner advances beyond the base which, in the umpire’s judgment, he would have been awarded because of being obstructed, he does so at his own peril and may be tagged out. This is a judgment call.NOTE: The catcher, without the ball in his possession, has no right to block the pathway of the runner attempting to score. The base line belongs to the runner and the catcher should be there only when he is fielding a ball or when he already has the ball in his hand
AHHHHHHHH! That's way to much of a close up on Debbi.DO NOT WANT!
Morse has shown power in limited action.
Honestly, that's why I like him as a bench bat. I don't think 7-7 is representative of his full season numbers
6 straight ABs with a hit over the past two days. Bernie in CF and Morse in RF is the way to go. Period.
