Coach C

I believe they did. There is a discussion going on here. viewtopic.php?t=41786

Okay, let's say this trade is brewing. What do you think the Cubs are looking at? Who should they be looking for? Disclaimer: Of course, it is obvious that the Cubs will probably receive a player that isn't good, regardless of what level this certain player is playing at.

Come on Cobs. Let's lighten up this Francis.

Mizzou should be good for the Big XII North. Problem is, Gary Pinkel is coaching that team. And Mizzou does have the issue of underperforming.

Got OU beating Texas, or Texas beating OU?

I don't think so. Pie was running towards 3rd, and he has not touched 3rd base when the interference occured. When it occured, the ball immediately becomes dead, and the runner stays at whichever base they are near by, I believe. By the time the interference occured, IIRC, Pie haven't touched 3rd yet. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's what I'd be guessing on how it was played out. I always understood it as obstruction awards you the base you are heading to. As the obstruction by Uribe happened after Pagan touched 2nd, he should be awarded 3rd, since he's awarded 3rd, Pie has to go home. You could be right. I guess the rules are so mumbled jumbled so badly, that MLB went so far to make it like that to protect the umpires in case of a incorrect call (based on what the media/fans/manager/team that got screwed) and to make it sound like that they made the correct call, despiate the lack of a understanding of the interpreting of the rules. Either way, I'm happy for 3 reasons. 1. It finally happened aganist someone that isn't the Cubs. 2. If it went aganist the Cubs, what are the odds that the Cubs would had made the game 3-0 with a runner only on 2nd with 2 outs, compared to a bases loaded, 0 outs? Granted, the baserunning blunder wacked everything straight to hell, but, at the flip side, 3-0 is a better score than 2-0. 3. The Cubs won. I really couldn't care about what happened.

How many of those games were already blowouts when he came in (hence, why he was allowed to pitch)? Team Record in Appearances: 3-20. The last 3 games he appeard, I believe the game was already nearly out of reach. http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/gl.cgi?n1=eyresc01&t=p

First rational thinking I ever seen on here, and I agree. No sense in trading one of your two young lefties, especially with their amazing breaking balls. In my view, I think both of them have a very high ceiling, with Hill being the higher than Marshall, but Marshall can be a serviceable 3rd to 5th pitcher.

I don't think so. Pie was running towards 3rd, and he has not touched 3rd base when the interference occured. When it occured, the ball immediately becomes dead, and the runner stays at whichever base they are near by, I believe. By the time the interference occured, IIRC, Pie haven't touched 3rd yet. Of course, I could be wrong, but that's what I'd be guessing on how it was played out.

After the meltdown, and during a Cub ran into a rundown, great baserunning indeed, unfortunately. But in the middle of the rundown, Hawk was screaming "IT DOESNT MATTER! THEY'LL JUST AWARD YA SECOND BASE ANYWAY!" That was funny.

KC wins, 4-3 in the 11th.

Ball game, Royals win.

2 away.

Royals pen has been a complete 180 from last year. Heck, even early on this season, it was a mess, but somehow they been locking down, other than blowing the lead (twice by Dotel this week.)

I guess the Royals must had hired Wavin Wendell when I was unaware.

Walked the runner home. 4-3 Royals.

RIP Shooter. http://www.markgrace.com/images/teammates/beck.jpg While he wasn't good as a Cub for the most part, I'll never forget his 1998 season. 51 saves converted out of 58 tries. Unbelieveable.

Good god, that ball was SMOKED!

Totally awesome. I wonder what was Izturis' Neifi Index is...

K-State's season will depend on 3 things. 1. The defense 2. New assistant coaches and the scheme, especially on defense 3. Josh Freeman

2-1 Now.
