[Fred Hornkohl]

Blanco grounded out to third, 5-3

[Jim Ignatowski]

Alfonso hit by pitch, Alou to second

 

Alfonso made no attempt to get out of the way and should not have been awarded first.

 

Fred, do you remember back in the day when Drysdale was going for the consecutive scoreless inning record he had the bases loaded, hit a batter, the ump called it a ball because the batter made no attempt to move, then Drysdale got him out to end the inning and keep the streak alive?

 

By the way, if the batter is in the strike zone when hit, the ump is supposed to call a strike.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Cedeno struck out swinging

[Fred Hornkohl]

Soto grounded an IF single to third base

[Brian]

haha what a first hit for Geo!

[CuseCubFan69]

Cedeno struck out swinging

 

Why is Cedeno lifting his back foot?

 

Nice hit Soto!!!!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

[Jim Ignatowski]

 

Ya gotta be on base to be thrown out.

 

That's profound. :wink:

 

Fred, you've touched on the brilliance of Dusty---just another reason not to clog the bases.

Yes, I remember it well, but I don't believe there is a umpire in the game today that would make that call now !!

It wouldn't have mattered this time anyway-it was off the plate, and it would have been ball 4 even if it didn't hit him-I was wondering why he let it hit him because of that.

[Fred Hornkohl]

 

I take it you've never seen the calls Clemens gets then?

 

I've seen the calls that Bonds gets that should be called strikes, but instead he goes to first base !!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Finley grounded out to short, 6-3
