Shut up Francona

The guy is fighting for his job.

He knows the call is correct. But hey, he may he coaching/acting/managing for his "baseball life."

And boy, this game, from the Indians home-front standpoint anyway, has gone south, early.

Francona is ok. Banny rooster would probably be pissed if that happened to holland. Just imagine how dickwad Gibbons would have reacted. That guy is an asshole.

Don't know why you say that. The Indians are doing fine so far this year.

Better lucky than good. Mitch is rightfully safe.

How far inside the line to you have to be, to be called out if the ball hits ya? Both feet inside the line? Just your left foot?

Honestly don't remember the ruling on this?

Stay in the "here and now" NC.

Who's that Ranger killer the Indians have that's injured? Outfielder, I think.

Lonnie Chisenhall?

 

[DT LUNA]

That hit by Holaday looked like something Yogi did many times

around .410 or so, I would too

 

[darrylgann]

Lonnie Chisenhall?

Brantley, I'm thinking of maybe?

B/c it's not May yet, AND they are dead last in attendance.

Ole Terry ain't getting any younger either, nor has he exactly taken the Tribe to any new heights either.

If they don't show some fire, and have the "scalps to prove it" at seasons end or perhaps before.....Mr F is gone.

 

[romeo212000]

Nice swing by fielder. More of that please.

 

[DT LUNA]

May be Prince is heating up

 

[donaldson79]

TAG just said, "Prince, for the 4th straight game, has hit the ball hard." Is that a reach for a compliment or not?

I got a kick outta that one.

 

[romeo212000]

Ugly game for the Indians, eh?

Rule 6.05 (k) covers this rule and is (from the Major League Rulebook):

In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball; Rule 6.05(k) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a batter- runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane. The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.

Holy fuck, Mazara is on fucking fire!!!

 

[Bmurph]

Brantley, I'm thinking of maybe?

He usually does have success vs Rangers too, but Lonnie I believe has a couple 3 homer games vs Texas too
