So, Nippert's back out for another inning, eh?
He seriously should get the start 5 days from now.

have to get at least 1 in the 8th.
2 against k-rod is highly unlikely, but its more likely than 3..
and thats just hoping nippert can keep it going.
whats our % on winning this… 5%?
2 games over 500 please.

by DSheppard on Jul 7, 2008 9:21 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
and getting any runs on K-Rod is unlikely
but if we are able to score more than 1, its just as likely to be 3+ as it is only 2.

The way I look at it
we are lucky to get a few on base and single home a run. But if K-Rod doesn’t have it today, I don’t think its really that unlikely that the Rangers tear it open.

just a hard play. hard but clean

Exactly...
Clean would have been for him to not raise his arms like he did.

by rangers85 on Jul 7, 2008 9:27 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
seriously?
Is he supposed to just give up or something. It was a hard, clean play. Is he supposed to just slam chest to chest into him? If anything raising his arms was for protection of himself more than trying to be dirty.

i'll agree with that
but I bet he also wasn’t expecting the throw to come home. I just didn’t see it as a dirty play. I would have hoped any of our guys would have done the same in the same situation

Raising his arms...
into Max’s face is protection? If anything, the catcher is the one needing protection in a play at the plate circumstance.

looking at the replay, Mathis lifted his elbows up into Max’s face

Max has protection
Thats why they wear all that gear. If Mathis doesn’t raise his arms he is running chest to chest into Max. That is a recipe for injury right there. Go back and watch the replay. He merely raised his arms and ran into Max. He didn’t throw any elbows or hit him in the head it was square into Maxs chest protector

I saw the replays...
the arms initially started in Max’s upper chest and raised into his neck and lower face area.

upon impact
As Max fell back Mathis arms look like they are in his face when in reality they are right where they were.
I just watched it three times again. His arms never went up as he hit him. They extended out as if he is pushing Max. It looks like they go into his head because Max fell backward and thus his head dropped. But Mathis never raised his arms up around Maxs head. Sorry it didn’t happen

ummm
my post didn’t post.
anyway I went back and rewatched it three times. When Mathis comes in he raises his arms and hits Max in the chest. Upon impact he extends his arms like he is pushing Max. When Max falls backward and to the ground it appears like Mathis’ arms are around his head but they aren’t. It was a clean aggressive play just like TAG said.

Extending his arms...
...to hit the catcher in the chest is not, to me, a clean play. Would it be okay to do that to the first baseman, say, on an infield roller where the first baseman is trying to tag the runner?
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 7, 2008 9:40 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah
you don’t concede the out so someone on the other team doesn’t get a boo boo. Like I said before I agree he could have slid and probably been safe but if you aren’t gonna slide you don’t just give up and let them get the out. You do your damndest to dislodge the baseball.

Question
Why don’t you see that at other bases? You see guys concede the out at other bases all the time…why is it okay then?
by Adam J. Morris on Jul 7, 2008 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
2nd base
Guys go into 2nd base hard all the time in an attempt to break up a double play. There are rules that allow for some stuff. Like ARod a few years back you can’t slap at a ball out of a guys glove but if it comes out in a collision its fine. At home plate you have to dislodge the ball. If it takes running into the catcher so be it. You can’t run into a player at 2nd because you would be called out of impeding the baseball or something like that. So you slide hard.

Guys slide in hard

because thats illegal
running into the catcher is not

And players that go hard into 2nd base...
usually get a baseball to the back in their next at bat, or get slid hard into next game themselves. Remember the Rays/Red Sox scuffle?
