MLB Daily Thread: 10-12-15: Am I the only one at work today?

Wow. Instant replay seems to be playing a role in just about every game. Huge calls being reversed everywhere!

Agreed. Sucks working on days like this when everyone is off! I'm planning to cut out early and catch some of the Blue jays' game. It's tough on the West Coast when the games start at 10:00AM.

Yeah sucks for you. I got back my 8-430 shift for the next 2 weeks. So I should get to see most of the Jays game as I should be home by 530 or 6 PM EST

Critical 3rd out at 3rd base there. Ouch!

I didn't see it, but I do see a lot of bitching on Twitter. What did you see? Did the 3B push the guy off the bag?

Kay said it was a bad baseball play which I agree with. Why attempt to steal 3rd with 2 outs when a single would score you either way?

I was emailing and missed most of the replay. I just saw the glove on him and his feet not touching the bag. Not sure what led up to that...either way, if you are going to steal 3rd with two outs in the 7th down one in an elimination game, you better damn well make it!

Agree with that...although you can score on a wild pitch from 3rd. It's not TOTALLY useless, but a dumb risk to take there.

The reaction on Twitter is that the guy was pushed off the bag. I need to find that replay.

@FSKansasCity And Instant Replay just bit the Royals. Not what it was intended for but this is the system we have.

Sour grapes?!?!!? What WAS it intended for?!?!?! LOL.

Houston opening can of whoop ass now.

 

[moxie]

Holy crap! Stupid phone alerts are telling me I'm missing some serious baseball!! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

I guess I'm glad to be at work and didn't get to see that train wreck of a finish.

It's what I'm used to seeing from Crashtros in the postseason.
