It was Duffy.

Just say it was Duffy.

We can still say Duffy around here...right?

If you want to get banned.  Go ahead.  

No, it’s any base 

Shit now I’m wondering if it wasn’t first base

At first base, yes.

Now you guys got me all turned around.  It applies for any forced runner at any base.

So you are saying as long as it’s a force out it doesn’t need to be forced out he can be tagged out and when it occurs doesn’t matter as long as the out is recorded. 

At first base, yes.

That’s why I said it could be a dumb question. The defensive team has the choice to make it a force out but if they choose not to force the runner out then if the guy touches home before the tag out is recorded it feels like it should count. I’ve never seen it. 

In an alternative situation, had there been one out and a runner on first and third and the ball is hit to the 1B who steps on 1B creating an out, then throws to second, the runner from 3rd to home can score because there is no force at second. The play doesn’t end until the runner is tagged.  This happened yesterday or the day before and our lazy runner lolligagged and the run did not score.  But the manner in which a forced runner is out is irrelevant.

Ok that makes sense. 

I didn’t mean to be an ass.

And I think FrostadGrit is smoking some smelling salts.

I get the question now. But a put out of a runner that hasn’t advanced to his next base either through a force at the bag or by tag is still a force.

It’s still a force out though. Tag or not.

There is no way you guys don’t know the run doesn’t count.

My assumption is the run would count.  

Please say you are joking.

I hope they fire Maddon.  I have no particular attachment to him.  But I love I told you sos.  Love the shit out of those things.  From Bauer to Buttrey I’ve I told you so’d the shit out of this ridiculous group.  

So please fire Maddon so we can see that the next guy won’t be your savior and nothing will change.  I’d love that shit.

Holy fuck I hope you guys are joking about Stassi and Velasquez.

Just now, Erstad Grit said:

yes it would

 

He’s right, I’m wrong 

Just now, Stradling said:

I have a dumb question but here it goes. On that last play, it’s obviously a force out at the plate but the pitcher chose to tag Velazquez. If Stassi touched home before the pitcher tags Velazquez would the run count?

No

I feel like if you guys worked at INO you’d make sure Strad got pissed at your parents if you sucked at your job.  

I wish Maddon could pitch better and hit better.  Managers should be better at those things 

That sucked

Thankfully, I'd be concerned I was actually incorrect, btw.

I don’t think you really like this team.

Did you learn a new word this week, Ace?

No, I just think he likes to imagine me in old timey photos.  Or were you talking about contrarianism?

Just now, tdawg87 said:

Vintage contrarianism.

Because I’d rather be critical of those who fail? Come on now.

it's Maddon, 80% of the shit he does does not make sense.

1 minute ago, HeavenlyHalos said:

Yuuuuuup. Instead, we have Maddon who is like the blackjack player that just keeps doubling his bet thinking, surely I will win at some point, only to realize that there is a table limit.

Just now, HeavenlyHalos said:

80% of the time it works 0% of the time. 

Ha ha.

Not laughing with you morons, btw.
