So it doesn't matter if it hits the glove, that seems like a future loophole. Just whack any ball in the gap there to prevent a triple or a run scoring from first.

This is shaping up to be the most infuriating loss since Game 1 of the 2008 NLDS.

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

Yes you can. Even when the green has sprouted you can often see it but the rule is the same.

[Careless]

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.

You... wonder if they can hear the organ, from inside the park? Why would you wonder that?

not a loophole at all. Knocking it in there is in no way shape or form a good idea since you are not guaranteed it will stick there.

[DiamondMind]

I dont know why you guys are so shocked about that call. It's always been like that. Even if its visible.

He clearly had an in-ear monitor in his ear and he still fucked it up. This tradition tops the list of stupid traditions

Intentionally whacking a ball out of play and deflecting a ball out of play are handled different in other rules, so I don't see why they couldn't be here.

[ctcf]

ugh Soler

[DiamondMind]

bet they walk rizzo. There's only two outcomes to a Bryant AB. 500ft home run or awkward swing at changeup in the dirt followed by boos. ohhhh being a cubs fan. Edited April 17, 2015 by DiamondMind

Game 3 of the 2008 NLDS I think would have that title.

[Derwood]

ugh Soler

 

well that answers my question of how much of a delay mlb.tv is on, as you posted this when he was still on a 2-2 count on my feed

[Schwarber Fan]

Do it, walk Rizzo.

[ctcf]

oh man. really gonna put the pressure on bryant

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Well, now Bryant's 4th K is set up to be legitimately disappointing instead of just a no-big-deal :/

[kujay]

You don't want to see KB angry.

[DiamondMind]

WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT [expletive] 2008. STOP IT.

[Andy]

IBB to get to Bryant, OMG make this guy pay

[Ballgame64]

Well here you go Mr. Bryant. Make them pay.

I'm not talking about winding up and golfing a ball 15 feet to the vines.

I'm not a physicist, but sound travels slower than sight, and music especially does funny things in big spaces.
