Lkr Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Saunders vs Burnett tonight. I am actually a bit surprised that Weaver is not pitching. Is it because Saunders hasn't pitched since the regular season and they don't want him to wait until game 4 of this series? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phightins Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 It may sound bias, but people need to realize that money doesn't buy a World Series. It sure as heck helps, and I would not want the Boston Red Sox to have the same payroll as the Florida Marlins, but money doesn't buy teams a ring. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it because Saunders hasn't pitched since the regular season and they don't want him to wait until game 4 of this series?Probably. The Angels might have wanted to bring him out of the bullpen against Boston. When you get extra rest, your velocity is above your average and you can obviously go a little longer than usual, but of course, they can't let him lose his sharpness.

EastCoastNiner Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 You need to touch second base on that play, even if it hasn't been called all game.  Having to touch the bag can change the whole play around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 (edited) You need to touch second base on that play, even if it hasn't been called all game.  Having to touch the bag can change the whole play around. That's irrelevant if the umpire has been letting them get away with it all game long. You can't just start calling it differently in the tenth inning. Obviously the rule book says you need to touch the base, but most umpires let middle infielders get away with what Aybar did. But again, it's all about consistency. If he had been making him touch the bag all game long, then the "safe" call would have been alright. It's the same deal as strike zones. There is technically a rule book definition of a strike zone, but every umpire has their own unique one, and the only important thing is that they stay consistent.

If something is alright in the first inning or third inning, it sure as hell better be alright in the tenth. And it really is similar to the strike zone thing, since some umpires will allow you to straddle the bag like Aybar did and some umpires will not, just as some umpires will squeeze pitchers to death and others will give them an inch or 2 off the plate.
