4/17 Cubs (Hammel) vs Padres (Shields) 1:20 ABC 7 - KRISMAS

[Derwood]

If Kyle says one more [expletive] thing about pitch framing, he's getting banned

 

Uh, that's not really how moderating works.

 

Should be

[KatJ]

I'll never understand how people who agree to sing the stretch have no [expletive] clue what the cadence to this song is.

 

I wonder how well they can hear up there. I'd be terrified to do it unless I could see someone conducting me from the pipe organ, and then only if I were wearing earplugs.

After all these years. You never expect the one that gets you, I guess.

[DiamondMind]

Deadspin laying the wood to us already.

[DiamondMind]

That's obviously a ground rule double. No argument there. Cant get into the specific depth of the ball into the ivy for it to qualify lol. Edited April 17, 2015 by DiamondMind

[kujay]

Oh FFS come on!

 

Doesn't the ball have to be lost?

Um, Myers hit that into the vines, does that make a difference?

[ctcf]

Alright let's get this run home.

[Derwood]

You can't use the stupid vine rule when you can see the [expletive] ball. God this game is so [expletive] stupid

[Andy]

That seems kind of stupid given the ball is quite clearly visible.

[NotSoSober]

the umps owe us this one

[KatJ]

Ivy rule double -- only at Wrigley.

 

Who was it a zillion games ago who didn't go after the ball and it went for extra bases, or even an in the park HR?

[DiamondMind]

It's a double guys. It's just how the rule is, and SD exploited it as they should.

[Ballgame64]

So if you can see the ball, it is still a ground rule double?

[Guest]

The sooner we get robot umps, the better.

 

Sad we have actual metrics to cover up how shitty umpires are.

[Derwood]

It's a double guys. It's just how the rule is, and SD exploited it as they should.

 

Yeah, but what does Deadspin have to say about it?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

It's the right call to send him to 2b, but they owe us about 5 on bad calls so maybe blow one for us.

[DiamondMind]

The sooner we get robot umps, the better.

 

Now that I agree with.

[DiamondMind]

It's a double guys. It's just how the rule is, and SD exploited it as they should.

 

Yeah, but what does Deadspin have to say about it?

 

Probably something about Clark's furry dong and 1908.

[Fro]

So how does Ricketts go about changing that ground rule?

[KatJ]

That must be the eventyeth blown call by the umpiring crew this game. I blame the Cardinals.

[jersey cubs fan]

the dumbest thing about this is how there has to be an official inquiry by the ump requesting help from others.

 

 

also, they never reached in and the fact that it touched them beforehand does not matter.

[Brian]

So if you can see the ball, it is still a ground rule double?

 

I believe as long as it is in the vines and the defender throws his hands up it's a double, whether it is visible or not.

[George Hayduke]

Isn't it only ground rule if it isn't touched?

[DiamondMind]

Man I wouldn't even fight this call. Just take the double and keep the pressure on the pitcher.
