I know that, jesus
but if there is a mexicutioner, then you cannot give him the nickname “mexicutioner” can you?
Where the fuck does it say I nicknamed him mexicutioner??
by TooLegitToQuit on Aug 3, 2009 11:09 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
typo "executioner"
“The Executioner” is a terrible lame nickname because “The Mexecutioner” is being used by Soria. I thought that would be common sense.
That would be like deciding to name Nelson Cruz, “Large Papi”
Oh please. Soria plays for the Royals. Not the Rangers.
Than think of something better instead of bitching about somebody else’s nickname.

You can't copy a nickname from another player, regardless of what team he plays for
The same reason Zach Duke can’t go by “El Duque” and Gerald Laird can’t go by “Pudge.”
I don’t have to provide a better nickname to point out what a poser Neftali would be to go by “The Executioner” or any version of it… no offense, just sayin
Well
Pudge shouldn’t be allowed to have that nickname then.

Than why does Carlos Lee go by "El Caballo"?
it’s not being a poser,because 1. I doubt many people could care less if he went by the executioner 2. He’s not Mexican. So Soria is out of the picture.

What exactly happened??
The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
Ichiro's on first. Lopez pops up to shallow right field.
Omar settles under it and looks as if he’s got it under control. Then he lets it land softly in the grass in front of him. He then picks it up and throws out Ichiro easily for the force out at second. Gives us Lopez on first instead of Ichiro. Much easier since Ichiro is probably going to steal second now with two outs and a base hit might score him.
You know
before he came to the Rangers i was on the fence in regards to him being a HOFer. I am definitely rethinking that now. He is a marvel in the field.

these are the things that no fielders do
because managers drill it into fielders heads to always do X because they don’t trust a fielder thinking about the play.
not all baseball players are idiots and these are grown men. I think once they get to the majors, you can try teaching them some of these things.

I didn't realize that rule didn't apply with just one on.
You are of course correct.
For example, with just a runner on first, an alert infielder might intentionally allow a popup drop to the ground and get the force at second, if it happens that the runner on first is faster afoot than the batter-runner is, or if the batter is loafing on his way to first base.

some maniac a row back and 5 seats from me was going insane even though they got the out, he was just pissed he didnt catch it.
i didnt get to see him let it drop though b/c people were moving through the row infront of me and got in my way.
i was thinking in my head if he’d let it drop as the ball was popped up. not sure if id trust a rookie to do that but a guy like omar i’ll give a pass. it certainly was interesting

2009 Texas Rangers: Why The Hell Not Us?--ghtd36 on May 13, 2009
Dropped into A's Nation to see if they might be talking about us coming into town
and found them talking about some of LL’s posts. I read this one and was honestly crying from laughing so damn hard. LL has got some funny fuckers. “Link”
Some words about Omar from the Guys at Lookout Landing
Which is the Seattle SB Nation Site. “In the top of the fourth, Jose Lopez came up with one down and Ichiro on first. He hit a high pop-up behind second, but as the ball was coming down, Omar Vizquel pulled his hands back, let the ball drop, and threw to second to erase Ichiro by a mile. Who even thinks of these things? If Vizquel were some teenager in A-ball that split-second decision would’ve gotten him promoted. What a heads-up play, the likes of which you wouldn’t see from many other infielders in the league.”
Larry Parrish Was Da Man!
I agree.
Did anyone catch Omar say that he had to sell it to the ump? He made it sound like there was a rule that allowed the ump to bring Ichiro back to first and have Lopez become out if he thought that Omar did it on purpose. Can anyone verify that?
Maybe he was talking about official scorer
scoring it a put out instead of an error
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
He doesn't have to sell the official scorer
getting the force out at second automatically means no error.
by Brett Perryman on Aug 3, 2009 11:11 AM CDT up reply actions
You could still get an error even if you make the out right?
Cause the original out would have been Lopez on the pop fly. The error was on that but you turned it into an out of Ichiro at 2B
Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.
It was ruled a fielder's choice. Plus no error if there is an out.
Kind of like there aren’t errors on DP balls if you make one of the outs and have a bad throw on the second.
if you have a bad throw
and the runner advances after the first out, it’s an error
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
First of all, you're not going to get an error bu letting it drop untouched.
Second, there’s no way to record the error if he gets the force at second, same as if he bobbled a grounder yet still got the guy at second.
The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
I found this.
“A batter is out if an infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive with first… occupied before two are out. The ball is dead and runner shall return to their original base.” Also, an Approved ruling states: “In this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits th eball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies” which it didn’t.
So technically, if the ump wanted to, he could have made Ichiro go to second and have Lopez take first. So Omar did have to sell it that he couldn’t find it.
technically not true...
…the way Omar played it the umps had no choice. You can’t intentionally “drop” something you never touched.
I have no objection to man walking on the moon.
If that is true it is completely stupid.
The only time that I could see this coming into play is if its a line drive right at somebody…that catch it for a split second…drop it on purpose in front of them to try to turn a double play.
With what Omar did I can’t see any ump calling both runners safe.
by death of the cool on Aug 3, 2009 11:33 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah
it would have to be a douch-ey (but awesome) attempt at a double or triple play on a line-drive, imo
The 2nd approved ruling doesn't read like that, IMO
It doesn’t say that Lopez would be safe; it says that the BATTER would not be out. IOW, you can’t turn a DP by doing what Vizquel did even if the batter doesn’t run it out.
The Texas Rangers have been synonymous with explosive firepower ever since they emptied 130 rounds into Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow in 1934. - Alyssa Milano
This is the way I read it too...
…IMO as long as he doesn’t touch the ball the play will be ruled just as it was.
I have no objection to man walking on the moon.
On second reading I agree with you.
Lopez wouldn’t be allowed to take first. But I do think there is a way the ump can call Ichiro back out to first base instead of Lopez if he thinks Omar dropped it on purpose.
Yes but you're glossing over the key word...
…“drop”. You can’t very well drop something you never touched.
I have no objection to man walking on the moon.
Here's from the official rules
(l) An infielder intentionally drops a fair fly ball or line drive, with first, first and second, first and third, or first, second and third base occupied before two are out. The ball is dead and runner or runners shall return to their original base or bases;
APPROVED RULING: In this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies.

I assume they act like it is either a foul ball, or a no pitch?
No, the batter is out...
That part isn’t in the paste Derek put there. (l) is preceeded with “The batter is out when…”
here
APPROVED RULING: In this situation, the batter is not out if the infielder permits the ball to drop untouched to the ground, except when the Infield Fly rule applies.
Right, and that's exactly what happened....
Ichiro was forced out, but Lopez would not be out even if he stayed in the batter’s box.

Right
First of all it only applies when there are more than one on. In this case, no runners advance. Since only Ichiro was on and less than 2 outs, that rule wasn’t in force.
I didn't know what a mancrush was. Derek Holland showed me.

right
this isn’t the rule for the “Infield Fly Rule”
It’s the, I will call it, “Dropped on Purpose Rule” and it applies even if there is only one man on, which is why the batter is not out on purpose.
But because the runners must return to their original bases, the batter cannot be put on base, and because of the approved ruling, the batter cannot be called out
ergo, the batter must still be batting after that occurrence
Yes.
It’s mentioned in a story at insidecorner and the Ticket also has the audio they are running on tickers.

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
