BERKMAN's 2 RBI's last night

[drcub1908]

Did anyone see the slow reply..? His single bounce out of the batters box in foul territory then went up the line..

is that not a foul ball?

 

I had it recorded and watched it again...whats the deal?

[pitchcs]

Yes it did. But it also passed the bag in fair territory, therefore making it a fair ball.

 

Think about it like a bunt. If a ball is bunted in foul territory the defensive team typically wants to touch the ball in foul territory before it rolls back fair.

duh...thanks!

I get it -- we're all looking for reasons for the Cards to lose.

 

The Beltre call obviously sucked, but probably didn't change the outcome of the game.

no way to know that - Beltre could have hit a HR the next pitch

Right, he COULD have. But he PROBABLY wouldn't have.

Berkmans hit is just another instance of the [expletive] cardinal pixie dust

[moorecg]

I was there...it was all I could do to keep from choking people in their damn squirrel costumes...the pixie dust around here is just almost becoming overwhelming.
