After seeing the rule and the replay, was it still a bad call? -- TheNuke 10/30/2019 01:01AM

So, just to be clear for me, he ran inside the baseline... -- `lag 10/30/2019 11:10AM

Holbrook believed Turner had violated rule 5.09(a)(11) which goes as stated -- Brown Water 10/30/2019 11:51AM

Holbrook is a diagnosed idiot ** -- ModerateHokie 10/30/2019 12:09PM

Check out this graphic, @'lag -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 12:01PM

That's what I read in BW's rules... -- `lag 10/30/2019 12:38PM

Per that rule ... -- Beerman 10/30/2019 12:26PM

Then the bag should be outside of the line ** -- ModerateHokie 10/30/2019 12:21PM

First basemen also had the wrong foot on the bag in his stretch -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:25AM

So the call was correct. And Martinez was perfectly happy with firing up -- `lag 10/30/2019 11:56AM

If he'd had his other foot on the bag he'd have either been blocking -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 08:34AM

Only would have blocked the basepath in the case of a shirt throw.. -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:37AM

Sorry, that's the correct foot for a RH 1st baseman. -- 48zip 10/30/2019 08:49AM

Ok ** -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:52AM

Sorry. I'm basing my comments on playing 1B for 15 yrs. I'll gladly defer -- 48zip 10/30/2019 09:02AM

Did hokie80 steal your password? ** -- Brown Water 10/30/2019 09:11AM

He's right. The 1B adjusted his foot based on the throw, good technique. ** -- BG Hokie 10/30/2019 09:52AM

I was referring to the smug, snarky, I'm smarter than you 'tude ** -- Brown Water 10/30/2019 10:00AM

I certainly didn't mean it that way. -- 48zip 10/30/2019 11:01AM

48, i didnt take your views that way, i am frustrated with the call -- BRVT 10/30/2019 11:32AM

I realized that after I posted. I saw your other post. My bad. I love -- 48zip 10/30/2019 11:36AM

All good man, i also appreciate being able to vent and discuss things here -- BRVT 10/30/2019 11:38AM

What do you know about smug and snarky? ** -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 10:57AM

I wouldn't go that far -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 09:59AM

Naw. But some of the lame explanations have worn me out. I give up. -- 48zip 10/30/2019 09:21AM

Most are from you ** -- darnellm 10/30/2019 09:43AM

I'm just explaining the rules or sharing actual real world experiences. -- 48zip 10/30/2019 10:33AM

Nope. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 08:48AM

In reality, he should have come off the bag to snag it and swipe a tag but -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:51AM

I get your frustration. Bang bang play. He did what he did at that moment. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 09:22AM

I cant argue that, of course he did what he had to do ** -- BRVT 10/30/2019 09:24AM

Haha. There is no "wrong foot" for 1st baseman OR runner. ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 08:33AM

I get there is no "wrong" but there is a way that players are taught -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:40AM

Here's the difference. The examples you see are for most of the field. And -- 48zip 10/30/2019 09:00AM

Im just saying the way he played the ball made it look worse than it was -- BRVT 10/30/2019 09:01AM

It's a split second reaction based on a poor throw. No time to do anything -- 48zip 10/30/2019 09:05AM

I get the interpretation of the rule, i get its a bang bang reaction play -- BRVT 10/30/2019 09:18AM

No question in my mind it was not intentional. Just hustle. It was a bad -- 48zip 10/30/2019 09:27AM

Well why do they teach otherwise to make sure you get the glove -- BRVT 10/30/2019 08:36AM

Trick question. It never was a bad call. :) ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 07:56AM

No. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 07:52AM

Wasn't a horrible call. You could give him the benefit of the doubt because -- BG Hokie 10/30/2019 07:37AM

1st baseman did a BAD stretch to make it appear worse ** -- darnellm 10/30/2019 08:17AM

Fielder threw it to that side intentionally.... -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/30/2019 10:47AM

Maybe, maybe not. If he did it was smart, knowing the rule, just -- BG Hokie 10/30/2019 09:49AM

Agreed -- darnellm 10/30/2019 09:53AM

Yeah. He was trying to make the catch behind his back.(((rolls eyes))) ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 08:25AM

1st baseman did a stretch to make the catch ** -- PhotoHokieNC 10/30/2019 08:23AM

By rule, the umps got it correct. Here is the rule and reasoning... -- BB Hokie 10/30/2019 07:02AM

He didn't interfere with taking the throw as a result of the time he was -- ModerateHokie 10/30/2019 10:00AM

If Turner was in the lane the whole way, this still happens. -- UEMcGill 10/30/2019 07:18AM

As I said all night, until he hits the bag, it was correct call. He hadn't -- 48zip 10/30/2019 07:54AM

IMHO, it's a somewhat misapplied usage of a legit rule -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 09:54AM

Agry with just about everything you said (maybe all). I think 1B would have -- 48zip 10/30/2019 11:11AM

And I think if the 1B's stretch is better, he might get him too -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 11:23AM

Absolutely. ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 11:32AM

Good explanation. Still think the throw towards the runner was intentional. -- Freddyburg Hokie 10/30/2019 10:52AM

Nahh, Smoltz was referring more to throws right down the line -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 10:57AM

Nice graphics, BTW. ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 11:21AM

Very good post. Explains it well. ** -- public knowledge 10/30/2019 10:12AM

I appreciate your explanation, explains it much better than I ever could -- BRVT 10/30/2019 10:04AM

This is a good explanation that states the bad call case very well. I'm -- BG Hokie 10/30/2019 09:59AM

But he wasn't... ** -- BG Hokie 10/30/2019 07:40AM

An absolutely indefensible call. ** -- Gobbler-100 10/30/2019 01:26AM

Rules. They're the worst! ** -- 48zip 10/30/2019 07:54AM

I agree with that -- Nova Hokie 95 10/30/2019 01:08AM
