taterhill Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 If he, or any other professional player, FAILED to try to knock the ball loose then I would be pitching a fit. his job is to get on base, short of punching a player, he should make every effort possible to seperate ball from glove. 77355[/snapback] so every player on every routine grounder should swipe at the ball? You have been watching too much football....what is next throwing things at the SP while on 1B, to distract him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 if there is someone coming at him from the pitchers mound and another directly in his path towards 1b, absolutely. i am actually quite surprised that doug mankievitz(sp) did not get called for interference so every player on every routine grounder should swipe at the ball?

He has a right to be there. A Rod is the one who was wrong in that play, the umps got it right, and the announcers knew it too. Why argue something that's correct?

The Poojer Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 a player cannot stand directly in the basepath if he does not have the ball, the runner has a right to get to the bag. and i still stand by my opinion, and i would stand by it if it were a red sox runner trying to get on base Why??? He has a right to be there. A Rod is the one who was wrong in that play, the umps got it right, and the announcers knew it too.

The Poojer Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I am not arguing the call, the call was correct, i am simply saying that that was a-rod trying hard to make a play, he was not being a "classless jerk" as he was called earlier in the thread. the play was called 200% correct, and i am glad the umps got together and got it right Why??? He has a right to be there. A Rod is the one who was wrong in that play, the umps got it right, and the announcers knew it too.

T-Bone Posted October 20, 2004 Author Share Posted October 20, 2004 A-Rod curse??? Thats new$ to me 77464[/snapback] The A-Rod curse is that he brings down any team he plays for and when he leaves a team, they show an improvement..e.g. Texas Rangers.

Corp000085 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Hey, i don't know why people bash jeter? this guy is like a solid blue chipper who is the definition of clutch... Although, we probably just bash him cause h e's that good, like brady montana before him and naimath before him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCap Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 POOJER in that situation though all he is going to do is get called for interference. He's out AND Jeter goes back to first base. That hurts worse then him just grounding out. 77357[/snapback] But he was going to be out anyway, so why not try it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 hey, i can see everyones point, the end result however lost us an RISP, so in retrospect it hurt the yanks, but i still hope they play that hard every time But he was going to be out anyway, so why not try it? 77509[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Like A Mofo Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Saw this quote in the Newark Star-Ledger from the Boss: "Sure, I'm worried," Steinbrenner said as he rushed to his car. "The whole team should be worried. We've got to win it." If the Yanks lose, expect a $250M payroll in 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Don't forget the arod curse 77430[/snapback] What curse? The rules ONLY stipulate what you do is NATURAL. Seemed pretty natural to me being that if someone is trying to tag you... The NATURAL thing to do is push it out of the way... oops the ball fell out...

CircleTheWagons Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 As a former Expos fan (former in a couple of ways ) I just want to say good luck to both the Yanks and Sox and thanks for some memorable ball. For the sake of all of us with diminished attention spans, please keep the innings to under 30 minutes each. Lets PLAY BALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Influence" ... You can take the north side of Chicago also and meld with it. Some places get a bad name... Where is Lee Elia when you need him? I think his statements as a Cub manager 20 some years ago could sum up some BoSox fans. How in the world can they be screaming to bench Bellhorn? Booing their team at home in the ALCS? ?? Go figure?
