Correct, and had Jake stayed on his original line he’d be safe and we’d be up one. Not sure why it’s hard to understand that Jake moving back inside is why he was called out. They’re trying to get these collisions out of the game... it is what it is.
Thanks for this. I’ve been trying to find the clip. Masvidal is human ****. Dude was clearly done. You could have done a walk off. Then on top of that you taunt a man who is knocked out? I’m not down for that.
I'd like to know the number of milliseconds between when Jake decides to start moving inside to when the collision takes place. I'd also like to see how inside he moved, because I don't think he was even out of the baseline on his inside track, and if you're not out of the baseline, I don't think anything you do ought to be illegal. I also have always been disgusted by catchers blocking the plate as if baseball is a contact and/or area-denial sport. This happened a few weeks ago with Yuli (was it Yuli?) having to shove his hand underneath a catcher to touch the plate and score. This is a worse rule, as recently seen implemented, than the NBA attempting to determine from replay whether a foul is flagrant or not. Edit: I'm not saying Lucroy was intentionally trying to block the plate, but when a runner and a catcher meet up for whatever reason, if it's not clearly outside the baseline, it's got to take way more evidence than that there was foul play worth an automatic out .
Yup it's why Reddick is undervalued here. People were wondering what he would get in return for a trade. Just solid at everything.
You obviously are a moron and don’t understand the current rules of baseball. I would try to explain to you that under no circumstances can you block the runner. NO MATTER WHAT. But clearly you are stuck in your views. I have nothing else to say.
This is the rule: https://baseballrulesacademy.com/user/official-rules/mlb/6-01-7-13-collisions-home-plate/ How they ruled Jake deviated to intentionally make contact with Lucroy, idk. Jake very obviously cut inside more to avoid Lucroy who then moved inside to catch the ball/block the plate. I don’t see how Jake should have been called out based on that rule.
That is why they instated the rule that the catcher cannot block the plate without the ball. How hard is that to understand? It was bang bang he didnt intentionally go out of his way to run over the catcher.
A move that is done regularly in baseball to avoid the tag... It's only illegal if deliberately running into the catcher, but he's already made the move when Lucroy plants and goes in the same direction.
Lucroy wasn’t blocking the plate at all. If marisnick ran straight down the line he wouldn’t have hit Lucroy.
