That’s exactly what I think happened. The only real thing that went wrong is Koles’ throw came in a little too much towards third base. It kinda forced Lucroy to move forward towards the oncoming Marisnick. It probably momentarily confused him. If it was a perfectly launched throw to the plate we’re not even discussing this play. I think Marisnick, Lucroy, MLB and the fans will all learn from this. Bad things can happen. Hopefully Lucroy recovers fully.

Well poutine more. lol Blades of Glory was hilarious. Nicely done.

I actually played ice hockey for two seasons but got Lucroy’d too many times so I had to stop playing.

So you never got on base. Got it. ?

Robot umpire would’ve called him safe on that play.

Welcome to los ángeles ganan Jose Marco Gonzales Rodriguez Guzman.

The timing might have a lot to do with that. Most MLB non All Stars are away with their families and away from the media. It was an unfortunate situation that probably every player wants to move on from. The whole thing sucked. Players are probably asked not to stir up the pot and are probably waiting for the outcome from league officials.

Halos Nation is having their big tailgate party under the Big A on that same day. I’m not sure if anybody planned anything. I’m sure it’s tough for Chuck to organize something from out of state. There hasn’t been much communication on a mid-summer BBQ and the Big A is booked up on that date.

Perfect if your name is Bourjos.

I’ve changed my position on this issue. I now blame Calhoun. The throw was offline which caused Lucroy to adjust forward towards the impact zone. A good throw would’ve put Lucroy in a perfect position to make an easy tag. Notice the catcher is protecting just a partial part of the front of the plate. Lucroy was in the wrong position and put himself in front of the entire plate with no ball. (see below)

Jeff I completely agree and feel that it was just a freak accident. Do you think that this incident will force more rule changes to better protect both the runner and the catcher. The plate is in fair territory and that’s where the runner needs to go. Maybe they need to paint some kind of safe zone for the catchers like they do for the hockey goalies. The catcher should have to be to the right of the plate instead of in front of it. His mitt should be the only thing involved in the play.

No. 8 Use humor to release tension. Great choice and nicely done m0nkey.

Well yea, but I do find that the deep-breathing exercises work very well before posting. And just because I believe in the twin towers conspiracy doesn’t make me a bad person.

Well that’s fine. My post is more about reaching out to everyone to remind them that angelswin is suppose to be about fun baseball discussions. Right or wrong there is absolutely no reason to lose your cool over things that happen on and off the field. Keep the peace. It’s baseball.

Well that’s ok. I’m not here to call people names or cuss people out. We’re all here to discuss baseball. It’s a message board. It’s not a life or death situation if you’re wrong or right. If someone disagrees with a poster they should just state the reasons why instead of attacking them with unnecessary fowl language and ridicule. Just discuss the topic in a respectful manner and leave it at that. There’s always more than one opinion. If everyone had to agreed on everything this board would probably have about 10 members.

1. Think before you speak In the heat of the moment, it's easy to say something you'll later regret. Take a few moments to collect your thoughts before saying anything — and allow others involved in the situation to do the same. 2. Once you're calm, express your anger As soon as you're thinking clearly, express your frustration in an assertive but nonconfrontational way. State your concerns and needs clearly and directly, without hurting others or trying to control them. 3. Get some exercise Physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating, go for a brisk walk or run, or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activities. 4. Take a timeout Timeouts aren't just for kids. Give yourself short breaks during times of the day that tend to be stressful. A few moments of quiet time might help you feel better prepared to handle what's ahead without getting irritated or angry. 5. Identify possible solutions Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work on resolving the issue at hand. Does your child's messy room drive you crazy? Close the door. Is your partner late for dinner every night? Schedule meals later in the evening — or agree to eat on your own a few times a week. Remind yourself that anger won't fix anything and might only make it worse. 6. Stick with 'I' statements To avoid criticizing or placing blame — which might only increase tension — use "I" statements to describe the problem. Be respectful and specific. For example, say, "I'm upset that you left the table without offering to help with the dishes" instead of "You never do any housework." 7. Don't hold a grudge Forgiveness is a powerful tool. If you allow anger and other negative feelings to crowd out positive feelings, you might find yourself swallowed up by your own bitterness or sense of injustice. But if you can forgive someone who angered you, you might both learn from the situation and strengthen your relationship. 8. Use humor to release tension Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Use humor to help you face what's making you angry and, possibly, any unrealistic expectations you have for how things should go. Avoid sarcasm, though — it can hurt feelings and make things worse. 9. Practice relaxation skills When your temper flares, put relaxation skills to work. Practice deep-breathing exercises, imagine a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase, such as "Take it easy." You might also listen to music, write in a journal or do a few yoga poses — whatever it takes to encourage relaxation. 10. Know when to seek help Learning to control anger is a challenge for everyone at times. Seek help for anger issues if your anger seems out of control, causes you to do things you regret or hurts those around you.

Nope he is.

We could sure use both of them.

5 NL pitchers have pitched and 3 of them are Dodgers. I’m jealous.

He’s a famous predictor.

and a patch.

Geez Ryu and Kershaw. Cahill and Harvey are still waiting by the phone.
