The rule is if it hits the dirt before it gets to the catcher, it's a WP by definition. I say that's bullsh!t and the scorer should have some discretion...there's no ****ing way that extra base was not on Maldy.
Ya that's stupid, the ball went directly under his glove. Sh!tty for Abreu. This game is really pissing me off. This is a team of no names w a collective avg. below .220. Yet here we are, giving up SEVEN RUNS to guys w names like Shed f'ing Long and a .216 hitting Kyle Seager.
Probably means the poor toss from Garcia to Altuve trying to get the force out at 2nd that pulled Altuve off the bag and then immediately led to a 3 run triple.
