Nationals @ Marlins, Game 3

[mitlen]

FP: "back when you could run into the catcher". I don't recall there being such a rule today. Did I miss something?

I think it's now more the catcher can't block the plate.

2014 Rule 7.13?

[spidernat]

2014 Rule 7.13?

correct

[mitlen]

Goodwin seems to get more than his fair share of bad breaks on short fly balls.

[mitlen]

FP didn't follow Dave's reference at all.

[tomterp]

FP saying Stanton "ran hard" on that pop fly, though failed to mention he pouted at home plate on 1 knee for an eternity before running.

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeriste that's all you got to do at 1 AM?   

[varoadking]

FP said Howie didn't provide any interference?? WTF does that mean? Should he have come in standing and taken one in the face?

I'd love to see Howie interfere with FP...

[RobDibblesGhost]

Every walk is a bad walk, FP.

[spidernat]

score some freaking runs!

Yup. Watching AJ Cole pitch is interminable. Looking up rules seemed like the better option. I knew the rule changed but didn't know the ins and outs of it.

I can't find a smiley to indicate how dull that is. Just imagine it if you would be so kind.

You don't have to explain.

Harper is in a major funk...

[mmzznnxx]

Sit his douchiness down for a game or two.

[RobDibblesGhost]

What is wrong with Harper?

Thanks for looking it up. I remembered the stuff about the catcher not blocking the plate and the runner can't deviate from his path to initiate contact. Didn't recall the part about how lowering of shoulder, shoving with arms, etc is considered deviating from path. Good stuff!

Harper is in a major funk...

He must be "hurt".

[mitlen]

He must be "hurt".

Hell, I'm "hurt".

[awbb]

He must be "hurt".

Probably heard Rendon's year 2 arb salary is going to be bigger than his one.

[mitlen]

Judge hits the Loft he's gonna get his ass kicked.

I bet Bryce is a pouter.

Galah can do it...

[mitlen]

Bryce has a serious attitude problem this evening.

[mitlen]

Galah can do it...

Not sure Galah's ever been upstairs.   Too much riff raff.

[awbb]

I bet Bryce is a pouter.

I've seen him whinge. A lot.
