Maybe throw the ball to a better spot. Huge bullshit call.

**BmillsSkier** · 10-29-2019, 08:47 PM

Yeah, wtf?

**BmillsSkier** · 10-29-2019, 08:50 PM

Lol at Turner calling out Joe Torre

Someone’s gonna get tossed.

**skiballs** · 10-29-2019, 08:55 PM

That was a weird top of the inning

**SkiBall** · 10-29-2019, 08:55 PM

The BB gods are not pleased, so they re-balanced things.

Right?

Now a protest leading to the challenge? Man, all kinds of messy.

**skiballs** · 10-29-2019, 09:03 PM

If Martinez has a heart attack, that would be just crazy.

**Supermoon** · 10-29-2019, 09:05 PM

Ball don’t lie

Always good to see the WS go to Game 7. Go Scherzer.

**BigDaddy** · 10-29-2019, 09:36 PM

Agreed... best thing for sports.

Go Nats.

**Danno** · 10-29-2019, 10:17 PM

Hoping the road team takes every game this series.

**JongDoe** · 10-30-2019, 04:21 AM

More amazing was that it held after review.

**Timberridge** · 10-30-2019, 07:00 AM

Kate Upton agreed with Sam Holbrook. So there's that.

Not reviewable. Judgement call. Torre said the headsets were just used to make sure they were correct in the way they interpreted the rule.

Either way it was a horrible call.

The bat carrying to first was kinda dumb. What was that supposed to be? Showing up? Not sure I got that.

second that.

after the nationals post-season run and max having to sit out game 5 and come back for game 7; that's too good a world series script.

the astros are a monster and should be back and already won in 2017, they can take 2nd this time.

But has she offered her support to Suzyn in solidarity as a fellow feminist sports enthusiast?

**Timberridge** · 10-30-2019, 11:38 AM

I'd like to see Kate run down the first base line.

**mooseknuckle** · 10-30-2019, 11:42 AM

Me too ^^^

**SkiBall** · 10-30-2019, 11:44 AM

What is this, elementary school?

I want her running to 3B or Home. wink wink nudge nudge

**Benny Profane** · 10-30-2019, 02:26 PM

Good stuff:

Interference Is Just the Latest Oddity in This World Series https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/30/s...ld-series.html

**Tele 'til You're Smelly** · 10-30-2019, 02:46 PM

It was a less than stellar throw, and luckily it didn't make the difference in the game. BUT- if he had not been to the left of the baseline, the catch probably would have been held, so . . .

Here's a story about it, saying it's a "dumb rule." But what should be the rule then- that you CAN run to the left of the baseline? It's an imperfect situation because the rule gives the runner precious wiggle room to get to the base in the last step (like what if the last step is with your right foot), but not sure what the solution is. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-dumb-r...-world-series/

Actually, maybe a new line on the left of the baseline that lines up with the bag?
