Rafael Furcal

[PrimeTime]

Rafael Furcal injured his left leg in Thursday's collision with Jason Repko.

 

According to MLB.com, Furcal was racing into shallow center field and center fielder Jason Repko was charging for Corey Patterson's blooper when Repko slid and appeared to pin Furcal's left foot on the ground as they made contact. Furcal grabbed his left leg and rolled in pain until teammates and trainers attended to him. He had to be carted off the field.

 

This is what happens when you slam into our man DLEE and say nothing..Maybe some kind of karma involved? He never apologized to DLee for nailing him and breaking his wrist.

Karma is one bad motha.

[CubsLadyinSTL]

Is it funny to anyone else the Corey Patterson is still hitting bloopers?? And a tad bit ironic too.

I don't think he apoligized for beating his wife and drinking & driving either. Still I'd rather have a wife beating lush at SS over Izturis.

I don't think I've ever wished for a wife beating lush. Don't think I'll start now.

Why should he have to apologize for running to first base. If anyone should have had to apologize it should have been Eyre for that garbage throw. Furcal was just running to the base.

[Pushfrog98]

Last year (my first year playing fantasy baseball), my first round pick was DLee. I wouldn't have picked him first round had I been present (I missed the first 4-5 rounds). That put a big damper on my team. I ended up ok though with Jose Reyes, Jermain Dye, CC Sabathia, David Wright, Roger Clemens, BJ Ryan and a few other people I can't remember.

He doesn't HAVE to apologize, but it's just a little common decency. He's not apologizing for doing his job; he's just apologizing for the outcome.

 

It's just polite. I know if I bump into somebody at the store, I apologize. I'm not ridden with guilt that I bumped somebody, but I want to let them know that it wasn't intentional and I meant no harm by it.

[Ivy Walls]

and actually spend value acquiring him

No kidding. :x

In your face Furcal. By the way Balsa, Gob is so awesome. The Mexican chicken dance was one of my favorite moments during the show.

Yeah, just running to the base on the inside of the base path, which was the reason for the collision. He shouldn't have been there in the first place. Though, an apology for running into a player's wrist and making no effort to avoid a collision would have been out of character for that jerk.

My favorite is when he tries to throw that letter into the ocean. One of the best television characters ever IMO.

You can't be serious.

 

Go check out a baseball diamond sometime. What you'll notice is that the bases are on the fair side of the baseline.

 

Therefore, if you intend to actually touch first base, by the time you reach it you must necessarily cross over from the runner's lane to the inside of the base path.

 

Furcal did nothing wrong whatsoever. He's under no obligation to make an effort to avoid a collision.

 

And why the heck do you care if the guy apologized or not?

[Abe Frohman]

Lee breaking his wrist was a freak accident, there is no need for Furcal to apologize. I seriously doubt he did it on purpose, and no one is to blame. Both guys were doing their jobs, and that is just the way it goes.

 

Nobody on this board knows if Furcal didn't call him to see how he was doing. Just a freak accident, right?

[Drew Doughty]

In all honesty, I blame the entire situation on Eyre.

[NCCubFan]

In all honesty, I blame the entire situation on Eyre.

I blame CT. :twisted:

[Fred Hornkohl]

Finally a voice of reason amidst all this insanity !!! :wink:

Gee thanks, I hadn't noticed. :roll: I hadn't really realized that your ENTIRE BODY must be on the inside of the base bath in order to touch first base, what was I thinking? They should get rid of that pesky rule whereby an out is called if a play that could have been made is an interference on the runner's part if he is inside the baseline.

 

Why should he avoid a collision? Oh I don't know, this isn't hockey? He's not attempting to break up a throw to second or knock the ball out of the catcher's mitt on a play at the plate, so a collision doesn't provide any advantage, other than injuring the other team's best player I suppose.

 

Why do I care if he apologized or not? I don't really, but showing some remorse for being involved in an unnecessary collision that leads to a guy being injured and unable to do his job seems sort of natural to me, but hey, I've never looked at a baseball diamond before. :roll:

Go watch the replay. He was so far inside that he was running on the grass. I'm not here to say Furcal is a bad man, or he deserves something bad to happen toh im. But he DID do something wrong. But so did Eyre in that matter.

Did the umpires rule interference on Furcal?

 

I seem to recall that they did not.

 

And Furcal didn't go looking for a collision. He was looking for the fastest route to the base, just like anyone should expect him to on a bang-bang play. Unfortunately, DLee happened to step into that route trying to flag down his teammate's lousy throw.

 

Considering the totality of circumstances, the obvious conclusion is that Furcal did nothing wrong.

 

So perhaps you should kwitcherbichin and realize that, sadly, sometimes there's nobody to blame life's misfortunes on.

I've seen the replay.

 

And if Furcal did something wrong, as you suggest, then why wasn't he called out for interference?
