So did they not challenge that play at 1st because they thought with one out, the inning was already over?

 

[calsnowskier]

Not sure I agree with that overturn, but I will take it.

 

[tzill]

whelp, we may win or we may lose, but this has been a legitimately good game.

 

[calsnowskier]

Ouch. He really needs to play smarter than that.

Hell of a catch, though.

 

[calsnowskier]

Holy shit. He got attacked by a lawn mower!

Well ok guys, I get it, the season is likely over. But, you know, aren't we fans of good baseball? I plan to still enjoy the rest of the season, these guys aren't so bad that we won't see some really great performances like the pitching today. And there's things to watch, can Bart keep up the hot run, Doval developing, Gonzalez, etc.

Doval apparently learned a third pitch (a sinker) recently, he's been really good lately.

Great game! Do what you want but I'm going to keep being entertained some times the rest of the year.

Oh and FYWW bitches!

Almost forgot, shout out to that defense tonight...that play at home plate is what this game is about, really fun. Lotta guys with the glove.

Nice to see a winning streak!

One of the most enjoyable games of the year by far.

Situational hitting was pretty bad, 1-4 or 1-5 with less than two out, runner at third. But that "1" was the game.

Gonzo-Craw-Bart was perfect; Doval hitting 103 to end the game was divine.

You never know, if they keep rolling....

Doval’s new sinker could be a game changer for him.

I loved Bart’s point to the dugout after the play. Such a boss move. I am still not convinced there enough to overturn by half. It should have been a “stands” call.

Judgement call I guess. But if you go frame-by-frame on the replay...he was out.
