I have no idea what Len is talking about with regard to the appeal at second base. Did that make sense to anyone else?

 

It's a dumb administrative rule. You have to let the umpire know you're appealing for the run to not have been counted. I had this happen in a college game and my manager went ape [expletive].

I still don't get it, but I didn't see the full play yesterday. What was the call on the field and how did it differ from an appeal?

There isn't much to get and its a stupid rule. Before Hammel steps on the mound Zobrist needed to tell the umpire they were appealing. He didn't so the play counted and Smith was called out "incidentally" kind of like being picked off.

Now this is how we should be performing against the Barves.

I bet it goes completely downhill the rest of this inning after that rally killing dong.

[Sammy Sofa]

Montero...puttin' on the Ritz?

[BigSlick]

Oh look it's the offensive output we expected yesterday vs a better pitcher

 

I shouldn't be bitter I love dongs

[Ski]

Come on, I miss seeing Russell getting in on the action. :(

The first or the second one?

He's 1-2.

Damn Bud Norris used to own the Cardinals as well. Perhaps he's so bad good teams can't handle him, lol.

OK, I give up. My peon brain fails to understand the concept of being out incidentally.

He's 1-2.

I just started watching, and I was referring to his recent slump as well.

The dongs are more majestic in person, you guys.

[David]

even when arrieta gives stuff up it's almost always off [expletive] lol

[Derwood]

Someone forgot to activate God Mode

Yep, even that last start his stuff was incredible and the Dbacks got some hits off balls hit so poorly they couldn't be fielded

[Agony and Ivy]

I know it's by design but I miss K everyone Jake and don't like pitch to contact Jake. Pitching to contact is boring.

how did JD know that O'Flaherty had never committed an error that fast
