I honestly can’t believe what just happened.

I was worried that might happen when Joe called for the review. Iglesias clearly was off the bag, and there is no longer a 'in the neighborhood play' because of the new rule. The Chase Utley rule is so stupid and subjective that any outcome is possible... the runner slid before the bag and could touch it, which qualifies as a slide by the rule.

Like it matters, why do fans care about seeing emotion from a manager?  It makes zero difference.

If the manager doesn't show emotion, the umps will never learn

 

[Stradling]

That was a whole bunch of stupid.  I thought the rule was if you could still touch the bag then it isn’t interference, or something to that effect.

Nibtana is really frustrating to watch. Garbage.

[beatlesrule]

Even if that would have gone in the Angels favor, it still took way way way too long. Most of these replays do. Something really needs to be done about it.

[Jay]

It was the right call IMO

Haha.  

[Chuck]

Suddenly those pitches on the corners or even off the plate are not strikes now. 

WTF

[Lhalo]

4 straight pitches. Lol

[Bronson]

We actually fucked ourselves over by doing a review...

[Chuck]

Double play please.. 

[Ray McKigney]

This game was doomed from the start

Yes Walsh should be starting, but no, that wasn’t Albert’s fault.  

Infielders practice these double play drills with specific timing, Iglesias dragged his foot expecting a normal throw. The lob caused him to not be on the base and the runner was right on top of him. A normal throw means Iglesias catches with plenty of time, foot on base, and most likely gets out of the way and makes an accurate throw.

Phat Albert at it again.

It seems like every time there's a rain delay we get fucked.

That's based on nothing.

[Mark68]

Was I not watching the same replay? Looked like Iglesias touched the bag to me.

Were you?

That was due to auto correct. And of course I was drinking during the rain delay.

Quintana pairing unimpressive stuff with some bad luck these 2 starts. Bloop hits, bunt singles, double play grounders getting botched by a slide

Did you see Iglesias throw?  No first baseman could ever cause that.  Also you are told to guarantee an out, and Iglesias didn’t do that.  It is on him.

He touched the bag, just not with the ball in the glove.

[southpaw]

Quintana all over the place

[Lhalo]

Yank him off the mound immediately.

Did you see the play?

[ADHB]

I just don’t understand the slide rule then, because yes technically he still touched the base. But you’re allowed to kick your legs out Bruce Lee style to upend the shortstop? I thought that’s what they were trying to eliminate, to make a guy have to slide directly to the base.

[failos]

Please get rid of this guy

Yes.
