Did you actually watch the play?  Cause i honestly dont think you did based on your description.  

Yes.

I posted a video.

Did you actually read the thread?

[ScottT]

Good grief.

[ScottT]

Debating the play is one thing. 

Questioning someone that posted video of it... if they saw the play...

Is another

....He needs to be suspended and drilled in the back the next time he hits against us. 

He won’t be suspended but you can bet the farm he’ll get plunked the next series with the Stros....

No way.  Y'all are nuts.  That was not dirty.  

What is it you don't get about two sides of the baseline? LuCroy and Dipshit were on opposites sides of the baseline and he crossed over specifically to hit him. At no moment in time is LuCroy not on the field side of the baseline and a clear path exists to the plate. 

Not only does he cross over he specifically aims for the head. It was as dirty as it can get, this is spearing in football and enough for fines and game suspension.

No my presence here is due to the force.  

He was outside, moved in without any reason or necessity to do so, and made contact. anything else is speculation but it is an absolute that he created the contact.  The Umps got it right, and i suspect mlb will have a say as well.

I think it is much more difficult to determine where to go and then react while running at full speed than it is to while watching a slow motion video. I also think the one angle shows him trying to go back the other way but it was too late

Let"s hope Brad has a pair of "chahonases"  and takes care of business the next series with the Stros.

[ScottT]

You want a dirty play to be responded to with a dirty play?

Lucroy never caught the ball so the Angels caught a break on that play.

You should probably stick to English

I like how everyone is mad. I bet if the roles were reversed, people would be saying it’s a freak play

A bang bang play. It happens.

[ScottT]

It's kinda like when the USWNT player got all bloody.  Nothing dirty. Arguably a foul. It happens 

[arch stanton]

Come on, (comma inserted) guys. Don't you remember all those times that a throw from the right fielder reached the catcher at the back and third base side of the plate? Marinsick was just playing the odds*.

 

 

*The odds that it was actually coming from the Astros' on deck circle

Lucroy was inside the whole time. There was no time when Marisnick should have been going to the inside. 

I can’t read his mind so I don’t know if it was malicious or just careless, but it was definitely against the rules. 

Isn't home plate technically located inside the line.

He hopes the player didn't get hurt, well you should not have put your shoulders down and into the player idiot, this is not football.

I agree with @ScottT  

Lucroy moved to his left, Marisnick responded by moving to his left. Lucroy then moves to the right directly in front of Marisnick who is committed and has no time to react. 

Against the rules yeah, but not dirty by any means. 

Marisnick literally jumped across the line to hit LuCroy. His last two steps he crossed over the line. LuCroy was never not on the field side of the line, it was Marisnick that changed directions to initiate contact while abandoning the clear path to the plate. 

Y'all numbskulls. 

[John Taylor]

I think Marisnick intended to barrel over Lucroy, kind of like players of yore would, but when he realized he seriously hurt Lucroy he had an "Oh shit" moment and felt terrible about it. Honestly if this was 20 years ago it would have just been seen as part of being a Catcher, but now with concussion protocols and the like it makes Marisnick look bad. I'm sure he didn't intend to knock Lucroy out, but he obviously stepped into charging over him.

Two steps directly at the player, not towards the free lane provided. Merisnick is lying his ass off claiming it was a mistake. 

[Jay]

The runner was called out right?

 

[Blarg]

They had to have New York make the call. The umpires didn't want to do it in front of the home crowd. Also, by rule, Marisnick should have been thrown out if the game for lowering his shoulder and hitting LuCroy. By MLB rules.
