the last few weeks of Ranger baseball has me thinking more and more that

we are going to be playing all of 3 games more than the rest of the division.

…large sums of money the Rangers don’t go 3 and out.

by Adam J. Morris on Sep 5, 2010 5:26 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't think I'd bet large sums of money on it

but I agree with you – it is silly to ever assume a sweep. The Rangers, as awful as they’ve been, will have a 30-40% chance of winning whatever series they’re in, much less get swept in it.

Go Rice Owls!

It looked to me like they touched

I guess the spirit of the rule is so that the 3B coach doesn’t reach out and grab a player from running home when he shouldn’t…it just seems like a pretty shitty way to end a game because Mike F Young touched hands with Anderson and it had zero impact on runs scoring and other related baseball whatnot.

who the hell knows…maybe that oddity will turn into a rallying cry for the team…time to wake the F up and play baseball

HE DIDN'T SEE THEM TOUCHING.

Not unless the second base ump told him they did, or something. I don’t get how he called it. He wasn’t looking.

On one hand

We went, what, 0-12 on the road against playoff teams.

OTOH, a couple of bits of luck, and they could have taken 2 of 3

that's redundant

This is just what the Rangers needed though

We’re not catching the Twins. But this will get them going.

what exactly is the rule there?

is incidental contact allowed?

by sarnold on Sep 5, 2010 5:33 PM CDT reply actions  

You can't assist the runner. Awful call. Not just going by the book. Judgementally awful

Rule 7.09 (i) reads, “It is interference by a batter or a runner when in the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in resuming to or leaving third base or first base.”

so basically

he ruled that that high five was assisted Young… That is absolutely awful.

In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching
or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base or
first base.

With the way the Rangers are doing, I have not been paying any attention to the NFL, so I will probably suck.

well lets see

1) They aren’t actually good…
2) They only have 3 hitters with enough ABs to qualify for the leaderboard, and one of them is JHJ
3) Next most ABs on the team is David Eckstein

Well next week at home against two division foes

(one of which may be only a game back after tonight) will be quite telling
