6/21 White Sox (Contreras) at Cubs (Marquis) 12:05 WGN

I don't really see the move toward second.

[Ski]

Not that care this late in the game, but that was BS.

[Fro]

Horrible call, he never left the baseline.

[radarluv1]

good call. still a cheap out though

[Jon]

I agree with the call, although it was a pretty small move and I didn't see it live.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I've watched it three times, and I don't see that being moving toward first.

 

Once again, AJ confuses umps into a bad call.

[Soul]

He crossed over the foul line toward 2nd.

 

At the very least he should have scurried back to 1st, he had plenty of time.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Fukudome doubled to down the left field line

[Flames24Rulz]

It was a good call. Marquis is just an idiot.

 

And of course, Kosuke doubles right after that. Imagine if this was actually a close game.

[illiniguy]

I've watched it three times, and I don't see that being moving toward first.

 

Once again, AJ confuses umps into a bad call.

Yep, what a tool.

[hawkcub]

That was an iffy at best call. The ump wants to go home.

[erik316wttn]

Jason Marquis is going to become the Fred Merkle of this century. :mrgreen:

 

Mr Merkle was the only MLB'er my hometown ever produced.

 

Addie Joss played some college ball here, but Merkle was born and raised.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I think umps, like most everyone else just dont like having to deal with AJ, so they generally give him his way just to get rid of him.

[splintersag]

Lol, Bob isn't talking to the Fall Out Boy guys until now. :lol:

[Flames24Rulz]

I've watched it three times, and I don't see that being moving toward first.

 

Once again, AJ confuses umps into a bad call.

Yep, what a tool.

 

He's a tool for doing that? Wow, I wish the Cubs had 25 tools that could confuse umps into "bad calls" like that.

[jaydee]

lol aj and the ump werent even looking at him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The call on Marquis has frozen sportsline gamecenter.

[illiniguy]

No he is just a tool.

[tenritsu]

Arg. I want another 9 runs to piss the sox off.

[Fred Hornkohl]

This is the first time a CUBS pitcher has had more than 1 hit in a game since 02 June in San Diego when Zambrano had 3.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[UK1679666180]

That was a good call by blue. Marquis shifted his weight towards 2B once the ball got past Russell, once you do that, you have to get back to 1B.

[Jon]

It's not about turning towards second or moving into fair territory. The call was right because Marquis made a slight move towards second (while he was looking into foul territory). He never actually turned towards second and tried to run, but that doesn't matter.

[BCVM22]

Arg. I want another 9 runs to piss the sox off.

 

I'd settle for one or two.

[splintersag]

He's a tool to Cubs fans, but if Soto was like that, I and most Cubs fans wouldn't hate him. Just like Sox fans don't hate him.

Addie Joss was a BADASS.
