Fuckity fuck fuck

WTF just happened???

Just following game on play-by-play. With 2 outs, the runner from 2nd scored on a wild pitch..on the third strike..

 

[SFAnthem]

Shame Timmy cant get a W. It woulda been a nice start to the 2nd half

 

[Stokes1931]

Crappy defense. Crappy pitching by Casilla (walk then double then wild pitch).

And, of course, 2-12 with RISP.

Can still win it, if we can score.

I know it's baseball tradition but what's the reason the batter has to be tagged out on a swinging third strike where the catcher doesn't hold onto the ball?

6.09
The batter becomes a runner when --
(a) He hits a fair ball;
(b) The third strike called by the umpire is not caught, providing (1) first base is unoccupied, or (2) first base is occupied with two out;
Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.

It's the rule.

BTW, really nice pitching by Timmy tonight. I know it is just the Assstros, but still, he did a good job for 8 innings.

Thanks stokes

I knew it was a rule somewhere, just seemed a little silly to me. I couldnt come up with a reasonable explanation, especially when trying to explain some of the nuances to a person learning baseball.

Can't they get the 9th Circuit Court to overturn the rule?

They're just as bad as the Giants with RISP

 

[Stokes1931]

Fathers "steal" two runs in the 9th. Stealing home then a wild pitch. 7-6 over the Dogs, bottom 9.

Nice job by Penny

A little worse, actually. 1-19 with RISP in the last two games, according to MLB.

Giants need someone to step up and hit in the clutch. No one is doing that.

lol, I saw they had first and third with no out..then second and third with 2 outs and thought, hey that's looks familiar..

Runs are being scored in a weird way today.
