[trangert418]

When I saw the throw going towards the 3rd base dugout I was like YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay......didn't really go towards 3rd base dugout but I could tell the throw was airmailed

[MarquisDeSade]

The Nubinals will freak this up by bringing in the new HRod.

[Scrapple]

2 outs and Soto breaking back

It’s what losing teams do.

20 years old bullcrap.

Game of Thrones series finale tonight (Season 8 sucks)

Despite the online groupthink...Season 7 sucked but Season 8 has been maybe a bit uneven but more good than bad.

I just got here...did I miss anything else?   

[Slateman]

lol, Kintzler gonna make his old team eat it

[Scrapple]

YOU HAVE TO freakING SCORE ON THAT WITH TWO OUTS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you do.

[Slateman]

Such trash

[Slateman]

Yes you do.

No, you really don't. You still need a base hit to tie it up. On top of that, Soto doesn't have good speed and isn't a good baserunner. Almora is a good outfielder.

Had that throw been on target, Soto is out by about 15 feet.

[GataNats]

Dumb to remove a red hot Dozier.

No, you really don't. You still need a base hit to tie it up. On top of that, Soto doesn't have good speed and isn't a good baserunner. Almora is a good outfielder.

You can't send him once you get the start Soto did, but the issue here is that he was headed back to the base on what was a clean hit with 2 outs.

No, you really don't. You still need a base hit to tie it up. On top of that, Soto doesn't have good speed and isn't a good baserunner. Almora is a good outfielder.

You have 3 more innings to score 1 run instead of 2.

You go home on that hit 100% of the time with 2 outs.  100% of the time...

Heading back to second with 2 outs is unforgivable...Soto may have been out only because he freaked up and didn't go on contact...

Except he would have been out by a mile

That quote tells me you never played this game.

Cutting a deficit in half in the 6th is as big as tying it at that point in the game.  If Soto was focused on the game situation, he would have broke on contact.  Youthful mistake, but a costly one and one he needs to fix

[varoadking]

Maybe...but only because he didn't break on contact with 2 outs.  That's baseball 101...you don't need a PhD to know that...

They've edited that Verizon commercial.

That's really, really funny.

It's not, but okay

Yes. He is a bad baserunner. We've already covered this.

But even with a good jump, he's out if Almora doesn't airmail the throw. Still would have held him at third.

A Pro.

Doesn't matter...you go down by 2 with 2 outs in the 6th...
